A story of a beach house in the Blue Mountains

Walls up and away!

A change to the box as the lower storey begins to be filled in for the first time. Wall board is up down the bottom outside and upstairs, Bryan is ripping off the fake wall paneling (well its not ‘fake’ because it is in fact wall panneling but it is not very good and pretends to look like weatherboard slats when it is actually some sort of metal which is about as thin a coke can). We went for the insulation which i know sounds odd to those of you in other countries where insulation basically saves you from freezing to death. In this house we have never had any wall insulation – and the roofing insulation is the consistency of chewed cotton wool.

    For lack of a better phrase(and pure laziness to source a alternate one) – HOW EXCITING!!! The box is looking well … like a house!!!! Bathroom looks super and I cant believe how quick everything is now coming together. Great stuff guys – cant wait to see the finished product – BRING IT ON!!
