The offices and reception were fitted out with furniture, computers and phones in May. After the inevitable new computer teething problems and the move from the old offices Marg is very happy with her new facility. Tony and Julie are pleased to have their house back.
The kitchen and toilets are fitted.
The timber frame interior rooms are fitted along with the electrics, lighting, airconditioning, floor tiles and glass doors and windows. All the timber fames and skirting came raw and had to be stained and sealed. The walls and gyprock ceiling all had to be painted.
The coloured external top coat is applied.
The under coat undergoes some expert fine tuning from Tony before the external coloured top coat is applied.
Render is sprayed, sealing the bales inside and out.
The window frames and roof are protected from the render spraying machine.
The walls are finished in a couple of days. Stacking the walls with whole bales was quick and easy. Blocking around the doors and windows with customized bale sections took longer.
The roof went on and the timber boxing installed ready for the straw bale outer walls to be fixed.
The steel frame is raised and bolted in two days.
