First internal wall up

Supermoon November and the first wall frame is up

It’s exciting times at Cooinda.  The timber required for the framing arrived exactly a week after the slab pour, and  Matty has been analysing the specs to make sure he has enough timber, the right lengths, cuts, types etc.

He’s been sawing, chiseling and hammering away, like a carpenter….. I’m sure his father will be proud :)

After a weekend of hard yakka, the internal walls for the bedrooms are done, this includes the walk in robe walls in each bedroom (laid down in the pics) as well as the wall that separates the two bedrooms.

Yesterday, with the help of our friend Bart(os), the first internal wall frame was put up, now neatly braced and supported. Can’t wait for all of them to be up and get a real sense of space!

Enough about the wall frame, here’s hoping that all family and friends are safe in New Zealand after the quakes, and that we all get to see the supermoon tonight!
