This week has been really hot in Melbourne, most days have been about 30-34 and Tuesday was 43 out at the house. Monday they started putting the frame up, and they got about half of the house done by the time they knocked off. Amazing work in the heat.
From the front
this picture shows how much of the house was left to go on Monday night.
Tuesday, in the 43 degree heat, they finished it off. This is from the garage looking across the house. I can't imagine working in the sun in that heat.
The back now framed. Side view.
Other side from our back corner, showing alfresco area. Looks like we will have a big enough area there when it is finished.
After Tuesday not much happened. Windows were delivered Wednesday and the roof trusses were delivered on Thursday. Quite a few trusses were delivered onto the top of the frame and the rest were left on our block and next doors block as well. Can I also mention at this point that chippies are pigs!!Interestingly we have a very small bathroom window that has been dropped off with our windows for a court address in Melton, I hope those people are not waiting for it!!
On that note, our timber frames for the doors and a timber window were delivered when the framing timber was delivered. Since then we are minus a timber window, it appears to have "grown legs and walked"!!
Have a great week everyone!

CDB,
happy birthday to DH and the framing is looking great. Yeah 43 degree heat is really stifling, amazing how they can do it. I can see a few cold tinnies at the pub afterwards going down real well.

Happy Birthday, hope you guys enjoyed the day.
Good on framers to frame you so quickly ;-) Really you are right, i cant imagine having a short walk at 43 degrees. Hats off to these guys for the courage. Well done. Look out for the Frame invoice in mail soon :-)
happy birthday to ur dh j!! Love the title...Hehe...
Frame looks great! I can't believe they worked that day! I was home sick, and didn't even venture outside for the fear of melting! Hehe
Looks like u got itself some really good tradies! :D
Hi J,
Happy Birthday to DH...nice cake!
Congratulations to the whole family...nice frame!
They are really full steam ahead with your place aren't they....looking forward to seeing you "wrapped" very soon!

LOL! Love the title. Happy birthday to your DH. Frame really taking shape and kudos to the chippies working hard in that heat.
Thanks all for the good wishes :-)
R&C, a few coldies certainly would have gone down well in that heat, I am sure.
Hi WBH, amazed that it is progressing this fast, although I am happy that it is all looking square and "right". Would rather it was slower and correct than have dramas later with a quick frame, which is what happened to T&L unfortunately.
Hi Newbies, sorry to hear you were sick, hope you are better soon. You only have 3 weeks until the wedding! Yes, our tradies seem good so far.
Hey K, yes, hope that it keeps moving for us. Looking forward to being wrapped. Any news on your start yet???
Hi M&J, yes it's exciting watching it take shape, you'll soon be doing the very same thing. Looking forward to your post on Tuesday!!!
