OUR WHIRLY BIRD FLEW AWAY..bye bye birdy bye bye

Our neighbour rang this morning to say he has caught our whirly bird, we had gale force winds on the weekend and our whirly bird landed in his backyard. He has been a builder for 40 years and said besides the whirly bird incident the Wisdom Homes build is exceptional. He said the brickies did a great job and the house is solid and sound. It is great to get affirmation as I thought it looked good.

The digger is working in our backyard today, I think they may be doing a clean up and landscaping but the dunny is in the middle of the lane, it sort of looks like the tardis, but the Australian version.

OUR HOUSE IS PLASTERED

The gyprockers and plasterers came today (on a Saturday) and again worked flat out. Here is a photo fest of what has been done today. It's so exciting to actually have walls.

GYPROCKING, BATTS + RECABLING

Talk about going flat out. Three CHEERS for Wisdom Homes, I am so impressed. By midday today the gyprockers have completed a lot of the house. The cabling has been re done and the batts are in. It is very hard to steal the cabling once these jobs are done, so hopefully we won't be robbed again.

I meet with the police on site this morning and they said that the electric cable stealing is going on everywhere in Sydney. They already have a couple of suspects, and were door knocking the neighbours to see if they saw anything. Top Guys, Good Job, I hope they catch them.

This is what the place looked like at 9am this morning. By midday heaps more was done. The gyprockers must think Im stalking them.

ROBBED...BACK IN THE DARK WITH NO ELECTRICITY

Last night some low life robbed us of our electricity cabling and did damage to the studs and fence. They would have got a nasty electrocution too as it was live (sucked in). So our electricity lasted only one day. Wisdom will recable at some time  and put the batts and gyprock in all at once and get our place to lock up asap. Our SS was so upset.

So we are looking at getting our security installed so it doesn't happen again. The police said they will do drive bys.

So gutted and disappointed that we are reminded that those sort of people exist.

WE'VE GOT THE POWER + SCAFFOLDING DOWN

So much has happened today. I arrived after work so the pictures are dark. The scaffolding has been taken down and MOST importantly the electricity looks to be hooked up. YEAHHH!!!! we have our first utility.

The electricians have also been hard at work, the house is all wired and the power point brackets put in.

MOROKA RENDERED HOUSE

Today the house was moroka rendered. It looks really good. Unfortunately the pictures are in the afternoon and have shadow on them.

GREEN HOUSE...OOPS WRONG COLOUR

We have a green house today...don't panic neighbours because it's just the undercoat for the moroka (render). The eaves have been painted too. Inside the house the men were doing a big clean up when I arrived. Also a hidden door was put into the laundry.
