When I drove by the site this morning on the way to work there was one worker on site finishing the work on the frames. At 9:30 a.m. I received an SMS Text Message from McDonald Jones Homes advising me that the framework had been completed. It's a week today since the work began on erecting the frames and it appears to be all completed now.
The Site Supervisor has told us that there's a problem with rostering the Brickies to lay our bricks. There's apparently so much construction work going on around the place that there's a 3 week delay before the Brickies will be available to do the job for us. So unless there's a miraculous change of status, there will be little progress to report on for the next couple of weeks or so until the Brickies confirm their availability.
We’ve been having the most incredible, warm, balmy, sunny weather which has
extended through until the end of autumn this year. Last week, every day reached a warm sunny
average of 24⁰C (75.2⁰F). This week,
every day has been a similar, warmer, 25⁰C (77⁰F). The current weather patterns in Sydney, New
South Wales and Victoria are breaking new records yet again. Both states report having the longest,
continual number of warm autumn days (some 20+ days) all with daytime
temperatures consistently exceeding 22⁰C (71.6⁰F) since our weather records
commenced back in 1859! The El Nino is
expected to return this coming Spring/Summer/Autumn (which means extended hot
and dry summer months). Winter is due to commence in Australia from 1 June (only 4 days away).
It’s an absolute pity and shame that with all this consistent evidence
of increasing climate change, Australia is currently being governed by a bunch
of ideological conservatives and sceptics who deny the existence of climate
change and actively ruin the courageous environmental initiatives of our
previous Government. The Australian [Abbott]
Government does not speak for all of
us and they certainly don’t speak for Pete and I.
Here's some photos that I took at midday today which show the completed framework.

ReplyDeletePlantation shutters being easy to operate, where for receiving sunlight the slats just need to be tilted and at the same time, one can completely open the shutters frames like doors. There are a varied number of materials to choose from for plantation shutters say - wood, PVC, aluminum, foamed synthetics, etc, that saves current bill and provide greater privacy while getting installed by experts say Australian Window Covering, Victoria.
