It's slowly taking shape...

The first floor AFS external wall panels went up the other day. We can slowly start to make out the form of the house at the rear.

More AFS

The second batch of the AFS walls got delivered, up to our first floor.

Core-filling the wall panels with concrete...

AFS

Our ground floor external walls went up today, which was extremely exciting to see.  The AFS Logic wall panels arrived promptly on site at 8am.  The lightweight panels are erected efficiently on site, braced and reinforced.  They are then core-filled with concrete to create structural external walls.  We were very impressed with the speed at which our walls were erected, which would otherwise have taken a long time if we had used conventional blockwork walls.

Aftermath of a wintry weekend

What Jason saw when he arrived at our site early Monday morning.  The wind had picked up our back gate and hoarding and landed it in the bluestone laneway.
