Week three saw our upstairs bathroom demolished. We now share a small bathroom with the builders - so far, they have been very clean! Typically Lara got sick and has had fevers all week and we can't pop her in a cold bath as we don't have one anymore!
Outside, the excavation continued, footings were poured, and the retaining walls were started. Reminded me of my Grandpa who was a brickie. Lara loved climbing on the pallet of besser blocks and watching the apprentice mix concrete.
The framing continued downstairs and we can now see both downstairs bedrooms, the ensuite and walk in robe.
The plumber visited to do his rough in and Alex tested out our bathroom sink for size - decided it's too small for him so lucky we have a bath!
The electrician did his rough in too and left holes absolutely everywhere! It's really interesting seeing how much wiring goes into putting power in a house!
