House frame finally completed & passed inspection today. I'm one VERY happy camper right now!!!!
It's only taken me about 5 years with 98% of the work completed solo. Since the Mrs & I started on this, we've had 3 retrenchments, two broken legs, a broken collarbone, a 2-year Pandemic that we both worked through (as essential services). Oh..... & an earthquake!

Now we hand-over to the trades & the journey to lock-up will accelerate.
If I had $1 for every time I've yelled expletives at the top of my lungs during this build, we wouldn't need a mortgage........
