AAMI for Strawbale House Insurance

I thought this part was going to be hard. Was trying not to think about it but it had to be done. But one call to AAMI and 5 minutes later and our strawbale house was fully covered. I could not believe it. They were really easy to deal with and did not even make a deal about our house being Strawbale. Thanks AAMI, your help has had a massive load off my mind.

Solar Hot Water

We had the plumber come in and install our solar hot water and connect up the cold water too. Be good to know that the the next time we go down we might be able to have a shower or go to the toilet!

The solar water in an Evacuated Tube System which collects the suns heat better than a flat system because the tubes in the system create a better surface area.

Ahh the simple pleasures.



More Painting

We did some touch up work on the skirting boards around the straw bale walls before the painter started. Chris from Chris Simos Painting & Decorating is a great bloke and did an amazing job painting all the ceilings in the house, our eaves, skirting and walls down the hallway. Looks amazing.

Thanks Chris!

Poo Pipes

We had Greg Cameron from Merimbula Plumbing Services in to start the install of our new sewage system. Had all the pipes laid which had a bit of work involved. Greg just made it look easy. Next step - Install the tank!
