Since our last Newsletter we’ve managed to finish installing the windows, complete the electrical rough-in, and make a pretty good start on the exterior cladding.
We’re using a light (‘Surfmist’) coloured corrugated steel for our exterior walls (as well as the roof) because it reflects the heat better than a dark-colour and because Colorbond steel does not require any painting or maintenance once it is installed.
We only have a couple of weeks left before we have to start thinking about returning home to the Greeny Flat so we’ve decided just to focus on getting the exterior finished for now. We’ll leave the gyprock for the moment and turn our attention to the interior when we return for the next round.
Great progress! Heading for Warrumbungles tomorrow. Hope you can call in and stay on your way back. X Simon
The new home looks very smart, and it seems a very quick build, I’m sure you ready for a bit of a break – well done ! L.
Looking good mate.
Hi Andrew and Cintia, looks great, quick progress and Im sure warmer then down here.
Would be interested on your thoughts re CLT (cross laminated timber) as a building material for the australian climate,
seeing as its now being manufactured here in Australia
