Jindabyne House, work in progress

The marks on the roof are a manufacturing problem. We have been waiting a very long time for the builders to sort this one out but the way it works is that the manufacturers will replace the roof but we have to put it up (i.e. we have to PAY someone to replace it...) sigh! think it will be cheaper to have it spray painted!   Any takers?

Jindabyne - work in progress

Posted by Wanda Lach on Sunday, April 6, 2014, In : House Building 
Well the garage is finished on the outside now and work has started on the house.
windows and door frames are in. We are waiting on the glazier to fit the fixed glass panels in the top of the
very large window/door frames at front of house.
Boards have been put up on 2 external walls and eaves as well.  With the inclement weather the builders are
doing quite a bit of carpentry work inside - our walk-in wardrobe, the stairs to the mezzanine, blocking under front veranda for the eaves and some work...

Jindabyne, work in progress

Posted by Wanda Lach on Sunday, April 6, 2014, In : House Building 
Well, this house has been in mothballs for quite some time now.
The last couple of months have finally seen lots of progress. I will post some photos from earlier this year and hopefully I will catch up with the present.
It's definitely autumn, lots of trees changing colour and loads of rain - unfortunately we are still waiting for the delivery of our 130,000 ltr rain tank!

Plastering has begun...yay!

Finally the house is taking shape inside. It's been a drama tring to find trades people in downtown Jindabyne and areas close by.  With the approaching opening of the ski season, actually, this weekend now... the lodges have been trying to get all their remodelling, renovating and new work finished. What that means is that this is the busiest time of year for all trades. As soon as that snow falls in earnest work up on the mountains will be done for the season. Then, of course, these workers will be taking some well deserved time off. None of this is of any use to us mere mortals...

We have finally found some gyprockers  in Canberra and they seem to be good workers and have many years experience.  We have our fingers crossed!

Today the temperatures plummeted - cloudy, cool - very cool and damp - must have been a few snowflakes up on the high peaks for sure.

We had some visitors - Rob & Sandra came for a drive with Bella and took a tour of the house and gave us a great reason to take time off - great guests who brought lunch and some great wine - thank you!

Back in the warmth of our home away from Sally Supreme we have the fire going, the doggies fed and can hopefully relax for a while in front of the tele (thank you Cathy & Angus!)


 Photos below...

1st row: the plumbers needed to flush out the drains and test their plumbing...so down to the dam to fill up the cube, Charles decided to wash the car too - at least he managed to clean off some of the mud on one side! lol. 

Now there's a problem - flat tyre on the trailer when it's got a full load of water on board, lucky the hydraulic jack was in the garage :) (not so lucky for Justin when he had a flat tyre at home and Kk had to change it and found the jack was bu**ered!

The trench to the builder's outhouse?

2nd Row: No, it's not some alien worm... it's our alternate heating source for the bedrooms - hot air trapped in the apex of the mezannine is pumped into the bedroom below (hadn't been put in place in this pic)

3rd row: velux windows being put in and the finished front veranda roof  - even has my initial :)

4th & 5th rows: more veranda and velux window

6th row: Shed site  from the new velux window and our lovely rainwater tank before the downpipes were connected.
