5 STAR Insulation!

Bags of insulation

The furring channels have been installed and fixed to the walls now!



It's good to see the furring channels in...


Insulation has also been put in

In fact, loads of insulation jammed into the internal and external walls

It's a very well insulated house!

The funny thing is, the builder has actually stuffed all the insulation into the walls, but the services have not even been roughed-in yet....The sequencing just seems all out of wack. Oh well...

Jase arrived to find the flashing has arrived, but just strewn across the front nature strip....

After work drinks

We took an esky with beer and wine, cheese and crackers, and went to our construction site for afterwork drinks.





Jase is excited about the big bi-folds 









The white frames are for our skylights

 The lightcourt is now cladded with new weatherboards

We have Air-Con!

What is this gadget ?



It's a hydraulic lift to get the condensers upstairs!



The air handling units

Ductwork

The next step...getting the condensers up to the roof, from the first floor...

Hanging the air handling units in the ceiling space

above the ensuite area

and above the kitchen pantry

The condensers sitting on the roof top...

...occupying the best spot with an awesome view of the city! 
If only we have a rooftop terrace! The view from here is amazing!



Getting the ductwork within the posistruts

involves a bit of hard work
