Building progress - part 7

Another week has passed with a lot of progress on the building site. All the insulation is in place- the whole house is horrendously pink - thank god this will soon be covered up with Gib boards.

The roof is finally finished. You can already see where the tubes for the Solar Hot Water installation will be placed. Of course they are on the North side of the roof - this in contrast to the Northern Hemisphere were the sunny side is South. The brick layers also finished their work. This will be plastered in the next couple of weeks.












The two gable roofs and all 7 posts will be covered in so-called Linea weatherboard. It's made of fibre cement and compared to timber it's very low maintenance. It's not the cheapest material so we kept it as a feature.
