"How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides, your looped and windowed raggedness, defend you?" (King Lear)
We were very happy to see framing appearing all complete, including roof trusses, and all windows installed! Framing started Monday and was completed by Friday. Was great to see tradies working everyday last week.
Here are some pics below as we did a sneaky walk through the house :)
Study. Place of refuge.
Sitting. Happy with the size of the windows actually, they seem larger than they appeared in plans. We also opted for thicker glazing and Q-LON seals around all front opening windows.
Through to Family/Dining/Kitchen. Beyond is where the timber bi-folds will eventually lead through to the outdoor room. Its looking like we will be able to capture the views behind us as long as the house behind is not going to be a huge double storey (no plans sent to council as yet). We are very happy with ceiling heights thanks to the extra ceiling height promotion and our need to have two steps down to the family/dining/kitchen due to the slope of the block.
Kitchen. Low profile window above the counter top, in promotion. However the window is not as big as the Newhaven displays (Metricon are sneaky that way). Not to worry though, as we will have plenty of light flooding through with the big window next to the kitchen as well as the bifold doors.
Hoping to put in some tropical plants along the fence line here, whilst Sandrine cooks up a storm.
Family. We opted for another low profile window here,the original plans had a big square window which would give out too much glare for tv watching, We changed it to the low profile to enable us to put the sofa underneath and eventually put some shutters over this window as a feature.
Upstairs. Looking up from outdoor room to our bedroom, well I thought this picture looked a bit arty. That's all for now.
