It's stage 2 of our house building project, there is big progress with the work, walls at the ground floor were concreted, roof trusses and roof were installed. We are getting closer to finish the project, though it is exhausting and stressful in chasing the materials, but it is worth it when you see the development of the house building work.

so they've uh built the
two roof
trusses they've got two more to build
which are the joining
trusses but uh that's looking good
that's going to go up
on the roof
[Music]
[Music]
i've just got home from a delivery
of well some charcoal for our own use
and some
feed for the goats and a heap of hollow
blocks there's another 80 hollow blocks
there
that's uh to finish off the kitchen over
here we got home and here's the boys
putting up the first of the two roof
trusses so that's
[Music]
nice we got six of them here getting it
in
place seven actually got seven on the
job this
[Music]

[Music]
another
[Music]
two ends
up this ends up
nice well done the other one straight
away
now there's more preparation on that
[Music]
well that didn't take long i turned it
back for a minute and the second one's
up straight
away here we go second of the roof
trusses then we'll have two more and
then of course we'll buy the the Santa
Clara plywood for the rest of the floor
buy those sheets we'll get that one done
then we'll add our second
floor and then they'll do the uh the
edging same as this this one's going to
be quite a bit
simpler um the immaculate along this
side couple of
windows not sure yet where the inside
wall will go because we've got a nice
view out there
we're going to wait till we get the
second floor up and see what the views
like that way not a great view today cuz
there's a lot of cloud but Mount Matum
is out there and that's a nice
view so we're going to see what that
looks like from up
here and whether or not we do the rooms
right across we probably do the rooms in
full size it gives two 3 and 1/2 m
squared
rooms and a big brand at the front so
we'll wait and see when that once they
get that
up get the floor in then we can get up
there and see what it's actually going
to look like they'll make a decision on
the size of the room the second room
[Music]
so the boys are doing a great job up
there today we got two of them up there
with welding and they've got looks like
their aim is to get all the pland
on this afternoon i think they're going
to do it looks like they're just about
done
actually so they've just done the third
load of uh sand and hollow blocks
today and uh they'll probably do the
other last one on Monday at only 200
we stuck by yourself he's what oh have a
snack yeah have your snack so we've got
plenty of sand again which is good we
still got
gravel and we got more Hello Blocks
so they've just had their
snack so um the boys are ready
boys are ready for next week now to um
to continue on start on Monday
um so these here will be for the
uh rods to go across
diagonally with the turnbuckles
um to support up the top
there just have a look in um what got
done this past week
so they built all the walls
now except for this one they've had that
one in to get the steel work in i think
they'll probably leave that for a little
while they've still got a couple of to
go across here so there's two four to
match these so the inside ones in there
uh one two three four so they need to go
in yet
um
they've looks like they
finished the
pland got completed on
Friday so that's basically the frame now
of the
roof um they've started they've started
putting the uh the two N1s on there see
there
[Music]
continues through there
but yeah we've had the the windows done
i'm not really
sure this one got done i thought we were
going to do them at the same height as
the
kitchen do the bench the same height
that's what I had asked i'm not sure why
that one's been
done a bit higher probably won't
matter and we can probably match that i
think it was that one we're going to do
higher but we've ended up with that one
as well anyway I don't think it's going
to be an issue we'll end up with a
sliding door in there glass slider I
think
um connecting to our uh car
garage this here is going to be a pantry
so we've put
uh 10 of the little
um clear bricks
clear glass bricks in that should give
some light into the pantry there without
needing to have the light
on
um this wall here we're we're thinking
of probably putting the fridge here
uh going into the pantry so I'll have
the door here shelving around the sides
plenty of storage in there the boys have
started to put some of the
uh soil from outside that was dug out
from here it's all
sitting out
here hopefully a lot of that will fill
this
up hopefully it won't need to buy much
top soil or much
fill in hopefully
so I dare say that next week um this
will come out
now they'll probably put up do the two
they haven't built them yet so there's
two more trusses i don't think I don't
see them there no they've been busy
welding up there so they got to build
these two smaller trusses across here
i'm not sure whether I need to leave
this frame up or not for that but maybe
that can all come out get the roof on
floor in then we can do the floors here
so I think we've got enough material now
to do all that which is good now we need
more brick even though this has been
done except for this one so we need the
hollow block for that um but also
there's a retaining wall out here to
do that will be
the continuation of
that sort of foot path or walkway at the
back
and then we also need to continue the
back down here for the dirty kitchen
outside there as well continue
this pathway around next to the house
and that will that will slope down to
allow any water there to to get away
from the house so we won't have any
water coming into the top here be
similar to that so this has been dug out
last week uh and the gravel's been put
in there ready this just needs to be
poured concrete now while it needs to
rio in first and then we can we can do
that so pretty keen to do that too
before we get any big rains because we
don't want water getting down
um next to the foundations if we can
help it and that once this is done
that'll take care of that and obviously
the same here
i'd like to do that fairly soon after
this time not wait for too long so it's
uh Wednesday afternoon got home from uh
organizing our latest delivery in which
will hopefully come
Friday and that will be roofing iron for
our roof for the remainder of the roof
roofing iron for the remainder of the
dirty kitchen
here um some other
We were short on some of the things here
to make the stairs to be over here
i notice here that they've
been doing this
today reinforcing here for concrete to
make a uh for the kitchen
bench so I don't know how that's going
to work with the
sink
actually guess we'll have to get our
sink
that's a big hunk of uh Rio bar in the
way there that's good to know better
remind you about that one so it's
interesting the the way they're doing it
here i guess
I'm not against having a
concrete counter it' be solid
[Music]
hello
hello heat heat
[Applause]
i don't know
[Music]
