I told you guys we were motivated to get this thing built, and I wasn't kidding. As of last Friday the house is wrapped and windows are in. They're not boxed out or whatever you call it, but they're all where they're supposed to be.
We went with a kind of wrap which means that once the windows are boxed in/out/whatever, the house is technically watertight. The brickie can be bricking outside and the work can carry on inside at the same time. Building at this time of year it seemed like the sensible choice. As I type it's raining pretty steadily, and although the sun is shining in these photos, that was a brief interlude between some pretty persistent wet weather.
Since we're at a sort of juncture in the build, I thought now is an opportune time to give a wee shout out to some of our trades so far who have been pretty stellar, helpful and easy to deal with. Quite a few of them don't even have a website, which I think is usually a pretty good indication of their skills. If you're able to run your business on word-of-mouth alone, you must be pretty good at what you do.
