16-4-08 Second storey frame

During the week the guys were hard at it again!
The second storey flooring has been laid....



...and our windows and sliding doors have been delivered.

We've chosen Coloubond 'Paperbark' for all the windows and sliding doors (along with the Fascia).

We also decided to get double glazing for all of the windows (not sliding doors) along with wall and ceiling insulation. We thought we'll probably only ever build once, and we wanted to get the most out of our budget. With all of the obvious benefits of double glazing, we hope to be rewarded in our future heating and cooling bills too.

The place looks so big from this angle!

And yet so small from this one?

The speed at which these guys have been going is just fantastic - All smiles here :-)

Gee your tradies are working really quickly! Can't believe how much they've done this week. Good idea with the dbl glazing, it will make a huge difference. Are you having evap cooling?

Yes, we are having Evap' cooling (inc' as std package). Considering the size of the house the running costs should be quite small compared to refigerated.
