Insulation and Internal walls

Following on from my previous update post...

The electrical wiring went in next, followed by the insulation. For those who like the technical details I have R4 in the roof, R2.5 in the external walls.
 
I also choose to add internal wall insulation. This all helped my house pass the 6 star energy rating which is required when building a new home.
 



 
Only a few days passed and all my internal walls and ceiling were up. This was a bit of a wow moment as it finally started looking like a home. I could walk in all my rooms and image the furniture placement. It was also great to be able to see how the light flowed in through the different windows, depending on which direction they face.

 

 

 

This was kind of a sad moment too as I knew it wouldn't be long before all the doors went on, which means the house is at 'lock up' and I can no longer walk through unless there is tradies working there, as I don't have a key, but this also means one step closer to completion.
