Roof, windows finished

This week has been good for progress with the roof finished, the weatherboarding nearly all finished and the uPVC windows and glass all in. The wiring for the electrics are in as is the in wall vac and most of the insulation.

In this shot you can see the photo-voltaic system on the roof, all installed and ready to make power once we connect to the grid. Note the panels are flush with the roof. - see the post page on the pv system. We will get some credits into the system once it's installed to the grid via Meridian Energy.

You can also see the piping for the water solar system which will be installed later on once the digital system is installed. Once its on the roof it will start generating hot water.

Here you get a good visual of the front of the house, with all the uPVC windows and doors, the roof and the pv solar panels. The uPVC windows and doors have come from Dunedin and are from Weathertight Windows and Doors Limited. - more info on the special page for the uPVC system.

The exterior painting of the house will start this week, weatherboards are Rakaia. Good view of the stacker door onto the side deck.

Insulation in the dining and family room all completed. The rest will be finished Monday and the gibbing also starts tomorrow. The house should be gibbed by middle of the week and then the plastering begins.

 Front of the house with garage and front door with temporary security. This week will see the security system wiring, the outside plumbing and drains, concrete floors polished inside, painting outside, gibbing and plastering. A busy week, but at least the site is now water proof......
