Stuff everywhere!

I went to the new house last Wednesday and found stuff everywhere. Not only stuff but people doing things with it. There was a gas fitter, carpenters, air conditioning folk, security bloke and electricians, all doing something and making a hell of a mess and quite a bit of noise. I met the last of our soon-to-be neighbours as well, and she was lovely. They have a beautiful home made of recycled timber and it looked just stunning, from what I could see just in the living room and kitchen area. Very nice collection of neighbours on all sides. We are very fortunate. The pictures show some of the stuff hammered and screwed to the walls and ceilings. Unlike in some countries our plumbing pipes are contained within the walls and not attached to the outside walls. I still remember our house in Scotland one icy, freezing day with a burst pipe and the whole of the back of our house covered in this sort of fan made of ice.
Four a/c ducts in living room.


Plumbing stack in the workshop area under the two upstairs bathrooms.


A maze of ducts with central unit in the middle of the upstairs ceiling. The noisy unit is outside the house.
