The roof is going on with blinding speed. Once the house is rain-sheltered, they can start fit-out.

"Blinding speed" ? Underdog is the roofing contractor?

For those of you who can't "see" the structure, these are the plans.

Some pretty stuff. Notice how many screws are required under the building regs to make sure the iron sheets can't come loose during a cyclone.

And for those of you about to complain that the house plan is posted upside-down, remember, he's posting from Australia, so it's correct for him.

There has been no visible change, I haven't forgotten to update this.
The cladding will be on in the next few weeks, so it'll look pretty soon.

hi OF,
Since I had to stand on my head to read the blue print I have a question. Is there a door from the Master bedroom directly to the veranda?
I think it'd be nice if Mrs OF could go from bed, right outside and you bring her a tray with breakfast. She will of course be in a sexy nighty waiting for you.

Hi Teddy Bear,
The Master Bedroom is furthest from the verandah and the pool. I can see us being lazy and crashing in Bedroom 1 which is closest to the pool.

We got to walk into the structure today and discuss some stuff with the builder.

The first sheets of Colour-Bond steel have been attached to the walls.
It looks way too green to be what we ordered. Enquiries are being made.

But the color offsets the pinkish-brown dirt so nicely!

The soil here is very iron rich.

They are the final color or do they get painted? |
