Houseblogging: closing in

You have to look closer to see progress on the house build this week. After a glorious week with no days lost because of rain the builders have continued to make great progress putting in ever increasing amounts of detailed components.

The roof framing has been completed, chimney frame built, rear walls clad and work started on eaves (or sofits as they call them here.) It was a perfect day for our visit - 19 degrees and hardly a cloud in the sky with Wellington harbour glassy and calm. Long may this good weather continue so the roof can be finally closed in.
What a view to enjoy on arrival

The living room end, complete with new chimney

That'll keep the chickens out of the roof!
