Melbourne Cup Weekend

We live close enough to where the Melbourne Cup is run that we could hear the race calls in the distance and had helicopters flying overhead during the day. Sadly we didn't get to go to the races to enjoy, instead we painted fascia boards! I spent most of my time holding the ladder for Grant as he painted. We really needed to get the fascia boards done prior to the plumber installing the guttering and roofing. The peppercorn tree was a bit annoying to work around at times but we were disinclined to cut too many limbs from it because it is a main design feature of our renovation.

Grant used some mortar to blend the Clinka and the insulation. This
will be covered by render in the future

We will be laying the boards (picture below) in between the floor joists
and then filling them with hempcrete for insulation. This link connects
the old house and the new and will have floorboards.

Matt helped us obtain a good price for the zincalume, it is always
a good idea to get help from friends and family!
