It's all happening.......

This photo shows the great progress that has been made since the last entry in this blog.
The roof is now on all 18 suites and thankfully we beat the weather, so most of the stone has remained very dry which is ideal for plastering. the rain that was forecast for the 18th did not eventuate and the builders have been enjoying delightful warm autumn weather.
All of the rooms feature double cavity Mount Gambier stone walls on the outside and internally, ensuring that guests will not hear their neighbours. The outer stone leaf has almost been completed on the first six suites as shown in the photo. We are very pleased with our decision to build the outer leaf with this honey coloured limestone.
The internal walls of the first block of six suites have been plastered and the ceilings have been installed. So we are not too far off commencing the internal fit out. The paving and building of verandahs is still to be completed, but with any luck the first rooms should be ready in FOUR WEEKS!!! Not before time, as we've been booked out most of the week!!

In the foreground of the photo is the slab for the reception complex, which was poured on Friday. The steel work is expected to commence in about a weeks time....so all is going to plan.
We've been having some fun planning the fit out of the lounge bar area.......it's rumoured that there will be a pretty quirky bar installed!! Watch this space.
