The Berlin Wall came down, CatarenaAcre's walls go up!
Yes, the walls arrived yesterday and we just can't describe in words how excited we were just waiting for them to arrive.
And then they arrived...
We were expecting the panels to be on some sort of board, with some sort of mesh and maybe some sort of frame around each panel but they are literally just slabs of plain ol' polystyrene. Yep, like what the vege boxes or the old-style eskies are made out of. We keep saying we're going to be living in an esky and it's true!! All we wanted to do was go poke, poke, poke.
The thingamebobs to actually fit the panels to the frame haven't arrived yet, that'll be tomorrow, and then there's nothing to stop us putting them up. There's only 40 panels as most of our north and south walls are windows and doors so we're imagining it's not going to take all that long.
The outside of the walls will have a cement render on them and as this part of the building project is really important to get right, we're going to get a renderer to do it for us. The quotes are coming in and thank goodness they're not as expensive as we had anticipated. Whoever we pick will do the house, garage and the stables all at the same time.
It's looking good to be to lock up by winter THIS YEAR :)
