Day 4 and 5

They have started in the roof now. They removed a row of tiles (or rows of tiles) and started to cut the rafters and connect the tie beams to the top of the walls.

Every evening they drap our home in pretty green plastic so it looks like a cross between a fumigation tent and the top of a shack, only instead of bricks and tires we have timber and roof tiles.

Day 3

Tie beams contructed. These were very time consuming for the guys.

The long flat things at the front of the photo are the tie beams.

Every night they sweep up and cover the wood pile.

Day 2

The frame building continues. Walls all done and onto A-frames for the roof. Look at all our 'rubble'.

Oh no what a terrible mess the builders have made (hehe).

Day 1 - Curious George joins the construction team

On day 1

• Our team of 4 guys arrives (ok 3 arrived and 1 came the next day).
• Our team is Joe, John, Walter and Patrick
• A huge pile of timber arrived the thursday before
• The team cut and nailed wall frames together. 
• Curious George was fascinated by the process. They wore hats he needed a hat, they brought out hammers he needed a hammer. 
• At the end of the day they swept up all their own sawdust and tidied everything away. Wow day one golden glow accomplished.
