Attaching the Ceiling Framwork96 viewsThe ceiling guys were really good. I liked the way they did the ceiling framework, straight and attached to framed pieces of aluminum, not strands (for more stability).dozer

Ceiling Sanding Plaster96 viewsHere the plaster is sanded so that the ceiling paint will adhere. The round spots are where the sheetrock gypsum board is screwed into the aluminum framework. The lines are where the joints are taped between pieces.dozer

Exterior Perimeter Wall96 viewsHouse as it looked during finishing when the exterior perimeter wall was being built. Note the perimeter all columns will be poured around the wall sections (ie. not done first), which increases the strength of the wall joints.dozer

Taping for Paint Application96 viewsThe taped kitchen wall exhaust fan and in the upper corner the taped decorative glass blocks. The windows come with pre applied plastic which will be removed after the paint is applied, so these don't need to be taped.dozer

Water System96 viewsThere is a artesian well (6 inch bore hole) in the far corner. At the bottom of the well is a submerged Franklin pump. The water is drawn into the 1750 liter underground water tank via a electronic solenoid. The pump on top of the water tank is a Mitsubishi 155 automatic water tank, which turns on when a tap is open in the system. Artesian wells are the best option for this area because they supply more and cleaner water than other solutions. The exterior wall is attractively rendered with premix die pigment, for a natural paint free surface and 'home made' feel.dozer
