...or maybe rather, the lack of it!
Yes, another crap excuse as to why I haven't been able to update the blog more regularly but I have been busy, promise! Actually, I really had no idea (I don't think either of us did) as to just how involved we were going to be on this project - from shopping around to get the best deals on everything from screws to taps and paint right down to the more mundane stuff like carting scaffolding around. It has been almost as hectic as when we first did Chalet Shiraz eight years ago. This time, though, it's enjoyably different as it's a NEW build and it's going to be our personal space so it's everything we could have hoped for.
Anyway, enough whittering, here's where we are right now :
- Staining of outside of chalet done
- Interior roof panelling completed
- Copper guttering started
- Underfloor heating for lower level installed
- Interior frame walls almost finished
- Velux windows, all 12 of them, in place
 |
| The east face of chalet, which will overlook garden |
 |
| The North Face. No, not Everest, silly..! |
 |
| Thomas has nailed Wilmatus to the underside of the roof, as you can clearly see here! Ah, no it's the copper guttering we're interested in |
 |
| This will be the IKEA kitchen. Eventually... |
 |
| Roof panelling and centre column upstairs |
 |
| Stud Wall City |
 |
| Double-vaulted lounge + Veluxes |
The last time I checked, we were about 1 month AHEAD of schedule. Tomorrow will be one month into the project. Which is nice... All things considered, we may be 'in' by the end of October. Tomorrow's also our 6th wedding anniversary. :) Even nicer..!
The roof arrives on Wednesday and the next truck, with the doors, flooring and staircase, on Friday. It's hotting up!
Cheers.
Jason
