Getting back into gear

My house-build is moving forward again. At last! Two workmen arrived this morning just before I was on my way out to a follow-up dental appointment. I noticed that they’d thrown out all of the wood and everything else that had been left on the floor inside and when I went up later to see what and how they were doing I found that they were sub-contractors who will be installing the ceilings and partition walls.

Here are some shots that I took in the middle of the afternoon. Their first job was to mount all of the ceiling bars that will hold the ceiling in place and when I peaked in earlier I saw that they were using a laser to make sure that the hangers are all at exactly the same height. This will ensure that the ceilings are completely level.

The boss, an elderly Portuguese gentleman, told me that they’ve been waiting for the go-ahead for some time and he’d heard that there had been some problems with the build that were only resolved on Monday. He said that the roofers will definitely be coming in tomorrow to fix the roof and make the house fully watertight as there is still water on the floor and afterwards he said that he and his partner will be there until the ceilings and interior partitions are all in place.

A couple more shots taken at end of day (so poor as light was failing). So all of the ceiling supporting bars are now in place.

The question is… is this the ‘Reawakening’ that I’ve been waiting for?

Mother Nature says ‘Yes!’
