Aircon pipes and electrical wires

Apparently air conditioning pipes and electrical wires are being installed.

I assume they will also need to do insulation before putting gyprocks.


The electrical wires. The blue one is the Ethernet cable connecting study room and lounge. The black one is the TV antenna and the white ones are power wires.

New Satellite Imagine - 17 October

New satellite imagine has been published. The photo was taken on 17 Oct but only published today, after 8 weeks! I guess that's how long it takes to process the imagines.

Unfortunately the photo was taken just after the slab was done so apart from seeing the concrete you can't see too much else :-D.

Week 46 - Looks like a waiting game again!

The site fence has been left open like that for the past three days. I texted my SS after I swung by building site last night. He replied 6-ish o'clock this morning and said he would check it out.

He also said we are waiting for A/C and alarm to be installed and to finish the relative electrical wirings. After that we can do the gyprocks. Assuming the 5-week shutdown is for the last week in December and whole month in January, we still have two weeks to go for the rest of this year so there is still a chance that gyprocks will be done by then! Let's see!

This would mean in the last three weeks (from Week 44 to Week 46) there would have been only one-day worth of works done - that was cleaning the bricks on Monday last week! A bit disappointing but not out of norm anyway!

Week 45 - Bricks cleaned, but not much else

As I was saying earlier I sent a text on Monday morning to my SS asking about the progress as last week (Week 44) there was basically no works done.

He rang me back within half an hour and told me what the plan was for this week - Good communication! Credit to the SS!

That said not much else was done physically. The bricks were cleaned, as promised, on Monday but that was very much what was done this week.

No sign of Gyprocks starting so that's probably for next week! Before long everyone will move into holiday mood so fingers crossed something more will be done before that!
