Bearers and joists!

Wow, it feels like major progress today. You can really see the back of the house starting to take shape now. Ant caps on the posts (as promised in previous entry). Looking back at the house from the edge of the deck. It’s a little hard to make out

Minor setbacks and termites

The stumps are in: Saturday 13th August

Once the stump holes were drilled, the strings were put back up to provide the levels and then the stumps put in. This took two days, setting out the deck first and putting in these stumps, then the extension on Friday. This was for two reasons, firstly getting the stumps

Stump holes: Week Two, Wednesday 10th August

The set out process went smoothly although a few minor issues were revealed. We moved the deck a metre and a half because it felt more asthetic. Partly this was due to us deleting the deck linking down the side of the house to save cost during the tender process.
