What do you feed a Gobbledok?

This week the chippies have been at our house.

Good progress has been made, 95% of the eave lining boards are in place - just the bit above the main bedroom window to go (where the bricks have just been added). Most of the skirting boards are in place, and I think all of the architraves. More importantly the kitchen, en-suite, laundry, (and I assume bathroom) cupboards have been put in place ready for the cornices around the overhead cupboards. I think another week should see the carpentry pretty much done!

A bit of a downer with the rain this week is that the downpipes are still not connected (except for the one stubborn temporary downpipe), so the site is muddy again (should have worn my gumboots... actually I should buy some gumboots)

Oh, and I forgot to mention (last week); that it looks like the sparky has been through and made some holes in the plaster (and stuck some wires through), one more thing off the list.

Thankfully we took both cameras with us, as the one that was in the car was missing a memory card. So here are the Alice through the looking glass pictures:

Here's the front of the house, you can see the gables are filled in now (yay for keeping the rain out), though the fretwork and finials are yet to be added.

The front door... you can see the eaves lining boards there...
and not there...
yet.

Midget cam...Most of the skirting is done throughout the house, this is the rumpus (marked theatre on the plan)

Dimly through the protective plastic you can see the laundry cabinets... and it looks like the sink is there waiting (for the stone bench-top) as well.

The Kitchen! Unfortunately as the missing window pane has been fitted, I can't stick the camera through the window any-more to get a different angle. But SO exciting... something that is beginning to look more like a home than a construction site (just imagine what I'm going to be like when the painting and tiling is done!).

Lastly, the en-suite... nice...
