			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Christmas just around the corner it&#8217;s time for another house update. Things have progressed quite a bit since the<a href="http://www.clearchain.com/blog/posts/bricks-roof-plumbing-electrics-insulation-and-now-gyprock"> last update</a> but also a lot slower. The house has finally reached lockup and  hence we only get to see what&#8217;s happening when trades men are around.</p>
<p>Format Homes have continued working on the house and each week a little bit more has been done. Since the last update the following has happened:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gyprock has been completed</li>
<li>Doors have been installed</li>
<li>Cornus has been put up in all rooms except the bathrooms (we&#8217;re having ceiling high tiles)</li>
<li>The Bath has been installed</li>
<li>The showers have been water proofed</li>
<li>The screens have been put on the doors &amp; windows</li>
<li>Tiles have been delivered and begun to be installed</li>
<li>The bricks have been cleaned</li>
<li>The kitchen has been installed</li>
<li>The Bathroom &amp; Ensuite Vanity has been installed</li>
<li>The linen press has been installed</li>
<li>Eaves have been put up</li>
<li>The Gable has been capped</li>
</ul>
<p>All of this happened over the few weeks since the last update. Sadly it doesn&#8217;t look like we&#8217;ll be in by Christmas. This seems to be due to the Tiler who, whilst doing a good job, is also quite slow.</p>
<p>On the flip side, Solaris has almost fully installed our 3.3kw Solar system. Including batteries, inverter, regulator and panels. It took the guys a week to install and they did a great job at making it work, look good and were very professional.</p>
<p>Below is some photos of the progress of both the house and the solar system installation.</p>
