Predicting much work in there over the next week or so?
Hopefully they keep up the cracking pace. Bet you're glad you don't need to hang all that drywall!

Hi Greg,

I'm still having 'what the hell have I done' moments !

Gyprock was supposed to start Monday but nothing so far. It's all in there ... took six blokes all day Friday. If they're not there tomorrow will give the builder a rev up ! Or maybe get cracking myself !!!

The first coat to the outside is pretty much finished so it looks much more like a proper house !

Once all the gyprock is done, the cabinet maker will be in to measure up kitchen, bathrooms etc for a start early in the new year. One of the builders lead chippies and a couple of apprentices will also be starting on the theatre fitout straight after the new year. Apparently they want to save holidays, and will get cracking on the 3rd of Jan, so I'm thrilled that the holidays won't completely kill progress.

Cheers,

Ok, now the competition is to see how long you can leave them in their boxes. I still have Emotiva gear in boxes from 18 months ago. Likewise, the two Danley kits are still in their boxes.... Just waiting for the day that I can put them together. That may be a fun group day.

Those speakers look nice.

I am DIY type of guy but those fronts and surrounds look nice. PLUS a pair of those P15's regardless would be fun in your room. Awesome.

Yes Peter, you nearly broke my heart when you told me that I wasn't going to be able to help you hang drywall in your room. Now that I have seen the actual size of it, I am extremely thankful.... Did they make a start on the drywalling yet?

Exciting days. Looking forward to lots more photos Peter. Going to be beautiful. And if you need somewhere to 'board' those Procellas, I am most happy to oblige!

We found it at a local dealer and I didn't know where it came from until just now as I've googled from the label on the back and come up with this ...

Signature Floors

Our colour is "Lizard 590".

Coming along nicely. I'm keen to see these window plugs.

Are you making the fabric frames yourself or is the builder?

....actually, how much of the fit-out do you need to do yourself?

Hey there Peter,

Looking great...but like I said, that room is looking pokey! Oh for an extra metre or two! LOL
So jealous of that space. This is going to be a very special build. Do you have any drawings of the ceiling design that Dennis has come up with?
BTW, I sent you a PM. Lost your phone number. Would be nice to catch up for a beer at some stage over the break.

The lead carpenter is really getting into the whole theatre fitout thing ... he's obviously never done one like this before and I think he's enjoying the change from the standard stuff they do over and over ...

At the moment the only parts I'm doing myself are the wall panels and the column covers.

Glad to see your progress, I still don't have a thread yet on my build but my progress is pretty similar. I have most of my drywall done, and my Procella shipment should be in in the next few weeks.

Well, I called in to see Peters new place and was lucky enough to meet his family. Was a flying visit but all I can say is WOW. This is going to be a gorgeous house with a home theatre that will be nothing short of amazing. Walking into the theatre room, it felt more like a grand ballroom. You could fit a swimming pool in there! In fact, with 12 foot ceilings, you could fit two! unbelievable space and the quality of the work performed by the builder is amazing. I cannot wait to see how this turns out. Thanks for showing me through your place Peter. I am, most assuredly, bloody impressed!

Its going to be Epic!

Hi Greg,

It was a real pleasure to show you around ... hopefully next time it'll be finished and more kid friendly !

And at least now my family know who the 'bloke from Berowra' is !

My mate Kevin, who arrived as you were leaving, suggested glass panels in the garage to leave the sparky's nice wiring job exposed !!

Cheers,
