Day 232 - Cladding

A big step on the extension today with Rob coming back to start cladding the extension. We had to head out this morning, but thankfully Rob arrives very early in the morning so after he made some flashing for the windows and packed out the part of the wall where the house meets the extension we were able to be here to get a shot of the very first piece of cladding go on. We were out until about lunch time, so when I came home to the cladding being done almost to the height of the top of the windows I was shocked by how much was done in such a short space of time.


The rest of the afternoon was spent cutting the pieces on the right angles and getting the eaves cut to be put in place tomorrow.










From under the carport the extension just looks like I have forgotten to paint that end of the house, it is awesome how well it blends to the rest of the house, although looking closely at it, you can tell that the cladding is different. James Hardie, have obviously changed their weatherboard moulds as the wood-grain in the new stuff is slightly different from the old house and no where nearly as pronounced. Hopefully with a bit of paint it will not be noticeable to anyone not looking closely at it.
