Week 6 and Week 7 - now its really happening

So turns out that we didn't take many photos at the end of week 6, so we've combined the two weeks together in this post. And what a post it is! For the first time, the whole "house" structure is in place - the two levels of the cottage, the roof, and the pavilion at the rear. Cool!


You can see the shape of the bay window at the front - just poking over the top of the fence - though it doesn't have any of the roof structure on it in this picture.

Below are the photos from the end of week 7 - this one is taken in what will be the laundry, looking up to the roof of the cottage. The laundry is tucked under the stairs to the first floor, so once its complete, you won't be able to see all the way up.


This picture is taken from the back yard looking through the living spaces (can't see the neighbours' houses on the other side of the road any more). Thanks ITM Building Centre - building paper isn't that matt black stuff anymore - its more like some kind of woven fibre material - like those reuseable shopping bags.




This photo is taken standing in the front door porch area (the "Portico"), looking up at the first floor of the cottage. There's a set of three windows in the back bedroom, so should get great morning sun.




And finally, here's another one of our lovely cottage from across the road. The roof structure is on the bay window - hopefully now the neighbours will know its going to be a bay window - NOT a garage. Replicating one of the features of the old house, the upstairs bedroom window 'pops out' of the facade - it will have a large window sill inside that you can perch on and watch the world go by (or the trolley buses rumble past...)
