Progress update



The internal doors are going in.
This is the glass door that leads from the front of the house to the fancy new extension.

The original bath has been re-enameled and is back in the downstairs bathroom.

The electrician has been on site and has made the cut outs for the light fittings.

And with the timber cladding on the exterior wall, insulation has been placed on the wall in the main bedroom upstairs, in readiness for the plasterboard.

Cool in Summer and Warm in Winter















As well as the roof, some of the weatherboards on the side of the house are off - so new insulation can be inserted.

Now we'll be warm in winter and cool in summer. 

We'll also be using 'low E glass' to control heat loss and heat gain - blocking energy flow through the glass.  

Hopefully this will mean I don't have to sit naked under the fan in the lounge room when it's 40 degrees  !!!! (Anything to get cool.) 
I suspect the neighbours will be pretty relieved too, just quietly.
