Yesterday was another full-on day for the builders. They installed some extra joists and put in the steel battens for the ceiling.

Also we have a door to nowhere

With a 1 m drop down to the garage floor, it’s a bit of a safety hazard. That’s not a fireman’s pole, unfortunately.

We decided to pull out the last couple of metres of Gyprock to make life easier for the electricians when they come in on Monday. It will also allow these outside walls to be filled with insulation That will make quite a difference as they face west and do get hot in summer.

We will be in for a complete rewire of the house. That’s not unexpected, as some of the wires must be 60 years old. There are wires going in all kinds of directions that probably once made sense.

Big day for the sparkies on Monday, and probably Tuesday. Troy is starting the AC installation on Thursday. I guess after that we get the plasterers in, and painters then the kitchen gets installed.

Margaret ordered the kitchen appliances- stove top, oven, range hood and dishwasher. Apparently the range hood connects to the cook top and turns itself on when you start cooking. There’s probably an app so you can connect it to the internet and play music from your phone.
