slab with rods sticking our where the bales will go. Next week (from
9/11/09) we are going to start putting the frame up with the assistance
of a local carpenter, Johan.
Timbercrete blocks (for wet areas and feature walls) have arrived and
need a little longer to dry out before being laid. Timbercrete is waste
timber shavings mixed with cement to create building blocks. You can saw
them and you can nail into them! To get the full details of these
amazing blocks check out www.timbercrete.com.au . Why didn't we do the
whole house with them?- price!

Timber should arrive this week from Cypress supplies in Caboolture. It seems we were lucky to get the cypress pine that we did get second hand - it is very rare and not that much cheaper than new. This cypress is farmed sustainably and grows in Queensland. Roofing iron arrived today from North Coast Demolitions. It is new roofing iron, just left overs and job lot returns. Mark and I spent last Saturday morning sorting out which bits we wanted. Local transport guy, Rick was able to deliver it all today.
Stay tuned, it's only getting more exciting!
