It may only have been a three day week this week, but that didn't hold the chippies back. In the last three days we've seen the most physical change in the build to date (apart from the destruction phase). The builders have worked hard, and seem to have performed a small miracle. We now have an exterior wood frame for the whole of the ground floor of the house, and the same for the guest room to the left of the first floor. It's very exciting, and although we don't have the actual walls in place, the build now feels more like a house, and less like a 'project'.
The wood frame makes it easier to get a feel for the space of the rooms, and how they flow together - everything just seems more tangible now we have more of an idea of the parameters. We've also agreed the dimensions for the doors and windows, which you can see marked by the wood sections if you look closely.
We literally can't wait for next week now, to see the walls of the master bedroom (to the right) take place - it looks like a big room looking from below - although we need to fit an ensuite and the upstairs corridor into the space too.
