The weatherboard stop.

IMG_1189
The vertical line in the boards to show where old meets new. Although it's technically "in the wrong spot" because the back of the old house is actually where the laundry door is now. There was a slight issue with levels and the walls not being straight enough so with some consultation with the building surveyor, we came to an agreement to have the weatherboard stop at the line of the original house and not at the end of the rear lean to extension that was done "possibly in the 60's". I hope that makes sense?

Windows are in!

Trev and J had a productive morning putting in the windows. We decided to paint the outside edge of the frames, then put them in and paint the rest in situ.
This is the main bathroom. It looks really small in the photos but it is long and narrow, so looks are deceiving a bit here.

J has been busy re-cladding the opposite side. We have sorted through the weatherboards and reused the ones that are good enough to go back on the house. Surprisingly there was quite a few!

Here is the bathroom, laundry, toilet and kitchen windows.
