25 Chapman Place update.

Here's a look at what's been going on at 27 Chapman Place over the past few weeks. The roofing iron went on in January - it's plain zinc.

We had help to get this all done in one day - Gavin-the-builder (who is a regular on these jobs) and his dad Richard, plus Mark-the-plumber (another regular) and Tim.

The skillion carport roof is now also on, so we're getting a good idea of how this house is going to look from the street when it's complete.

Looking in to Number 25 Chapman Place from the top of the driveway.

We're pleased with how the exposed painted rafters are looking. The look is a little bit 'architectural beach-shack' combined with 'unexpected essense of shearing shed!'

The airy carport also acts as the covered entry for the house - the front door will be where you can see the ladder leaning at the bottom left of the photo above. There'll be a small landing and steps there.

It's a relief to get the roof on (or, in builders-speak... "the lid"), as it means we can now work under cover. Out of the rain, and out of the sun.

We've stopped work on this one for a bit now - time to get on with Number 27!
