As you can see from the pictures, the weather has been very cloudy and gloomy, but thankfully dry the last couple of days.
We had a meeting with our site manager Hayden, the electrician and the heating company guy (Stuart) Friday morning, as we needed to make sure the electrical rough-in, which will happen this coming week, will allow for our electric heating panels in the right spots.
It was nice having an official appointment and get to go into the house with our building supervisor and electrician and the guy from the heating company. We of course all kept our social distance of 1.5m!!

 |
| Laundry plumbing. Not sure why the recycled water is here, as I've specifically said I don't want my washing machine hooked up to that! Luckily, I also see the normal water connections here, so maybe I can choose. |
Seeing almost all the outside hebel panels up and rendered in most areas really gives us an idea now of the outside look and feel of our house 😊 It's great to see, and will be even better after everything is painted.

| Front of house, hebel not completely done, nor rendered. |
 |
| Front hebel panels can be seen un-rendered, while side of the garage has been rendered. |

Lock-up will hopefully happen in the next week or so, and our site manager Hayden said he hoped for everything inside to be fully plastered and painted by the end of the month!!
So this was possibly the last time we were able to go on site and get inside our house. After lock-up we can only look through the windows to see what's happening...
We also have an approximate idea of when the house will be finished, even though Hayden did not really want to commit fully - we are guessing due to uncertainties about suppliers and weather delays, but we are possibly looking at end of July for completion of our house, which means we can move early August! 😊
