Well….what a week. \u00a0Yet again a huge amount of progress has been made on the house. \u00a0The week started off with the heat pipes going in on the main floor. \u00a0As you can see from the pictures there will not be a cold spot on the whole floor – which is great cos I hate cold feet. \u00a0Whilst the pipes were being laid on the main floor the second storey floor was being put in – ready to have the heat pipes added the next day. \u00a0On Wednesday the concrete was poured on the main floor followed by the second floor on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Whilst the floor was drying, the contractors responsible for putting in the fireplace came to site and started work. \u00a0by the end of the week they had half completed it.<\/p>\n
On the Friday we were able to stand on the second floor of the house, and oh my, what a view. \u00a0We can see right over the tops of the trees into the bay of Tatamagouche. \u00a0We can see the Cobequid mountains out the back and as far as PEI out to the front. \u00a0 By the end of Friday we not only had the floor in on the second floor, but the framing was up for the external walls.<\/p>\n
It was only after the floor had been poured and the framing was up that we spotted a little extra part of the house that we had missed on the plan. \u00a0Next to the master bedroom there was a space that was not utilised. \u00a0It was about 4 feet wide by 30 feet long. \u00a0We decided that this would be great for a storage space and so we asked our builder to put a door in the bedroom so we could access the space. \u00a0Just think of all that wasted space had we not seen this when we did.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
