Insulation finally complete & gyprock arrives

No action for weeks, and then happened to drive by on Wednesday 16th and the miss-delivered insulation was being taken away.

The following day, I drove past in the morning and found a ute loaded with insulation (roof and soundscreen) unloading, and a big truck unloading all their gyprock including cornices.

The insulation was installed during the day, including the 'variation' for soundscreen insulation in all walls upstairs and ceiling insulation in the outdoor alfresco area (which is usually never done by Masterton!)

There was also a carpenter finishing off all the exterior wooden cornices on the ground level - no doubt they'll be painting the exterior eaves on the ground floor soon too. The 1st floor ones were done prior to removing scaffolding. Efficient at least!

Over the break, the family had a busy clean-bee day and picked up all the bits of rubbish on every side of the house - popped it all into the onsite rubbish tray, to avoid issues later. Found probably thousands of little nails in the backyard and front. I think we'll be removing those things for years...

Moroka finish complete

 

Drove by today, not expecting much, but there was a truck pulled up, with buckets of Moroka in the back. Spoke to the fellow and he was there to finish off the ground floor Moroka sand/paint. Exciting!

No delivery of wall insulation, nor gyprock, and today (Wed 19/12/2012) is the last day it can be arranged - Masterton shut down for 3 weeks tomorrow.

I think that's it for the year, sadly.

Insulation nearly complete

After some confusion and stuff-ups regarding lack of wall (sound) insulation, and no installation above alfresco area, we are nearly ready for gyprock.

I suspect it won't be installed until 2013 now, however, as the shutdown kicks in this Thursday for deliveries and workers going on leave.

Some assorted photos should brings things up-to-date, below -

Exterior wall insulation installed and strapped, for the most part.

Garage cabling and office done - cabling not correct in this photo.

Ceiling insulation and all the air conditioning ducting and wiring complete

Great room cable ducting, and we finally have a doorway under the stairs - we were expecting them to forget this, as they denied it existed, despite it being on the plan and even being wired up with lights and powerpoint! LOL

Bathroom and main upstairs living

Alfresco wiring and air conditioning ducts

Upstairs tv ducting and air conditioning ducts to below level

Air condition return and more ducting, this one in main bedroom

This will be interesting. This is the waste for the upstairs main bath. Note it hasn't been plumbed and you can see insulation. As we 'don't have access' I cannot report this one to the SS.

Exterior view. Finally, the roof is complete, and eaves on lower level garage/alfresco done

The original CAT6 cable loom in garage, redone to lower with more cable now...

Aerial COAX box, as we now have a TV antenna out the back above alfresco roof.
