The frame of the house is made up of treated pine and kiln dried hardwood. All of these are farmed rather than cut from some Brazilian rainforest. As some span are longer than 3 meters, steel beams were used in lieu of hardwood.

The external frames are 450 mm apart and the internal frames are 600 mm apart. Australian Standards requires that frame spacing to be at most 600 mm for both external and internal frames.

This structure was started on the 7th of June 1996. The weather on the up coming week had been wet and cold. We were so excited that we go for a 20 minute drive each night to visit the construction site after dinner. At one point, we arrived there at 9:00 o’clock on a rainy night. We parked the car and trained the headlights to the front of the house and watched it from inside the car as you would in a drive-in movie. It is a small house, we thought … but it is ours.
