Sh!t a Brick

Well the Brickies were working today YES Sunday!!! They bricked under the Master Bedroom, En-suite and Dining Room windows. Our Supervisor said they would brick 1/2 way up all the way around then erect scaffolding to do the top.

Around the Front Door cannot be finished yet as the Door Frame needs to be replaced as it is warped from laying in the rain, should be done next week.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race.

The Brickies turned up this week, not a lot has been achieved, but the weather has been less than good, drizzling most of the week. all that aside I have to say the quality is excellent. Also the Tilers were back to finish off the ridge capping mortar, take down the safety rails and clean the roof, looks fantastic.














The Chippy was back this week also to bolt the frame down and the glaziers were in to put glass into the bi-fold doors.

We're Wrapped

We had a little present all wrapped in blue when we went to the house today.

All ready for our first inspection with the supervisor tomorrow.

We have Plumbing, Tiles and Bricks

It has been a busy week at the house, the plumbing was done on Monday.




The Tiling started on Tuesday.

And by Friday it was finished.

Oh and this is my new Company Car ( pity it's a Ford )

Friday afternoon the Bricks were delivered

Next week should be the insulation wrapping and the electrical starting. The bricking may be a couple of weeks away due to lack of Brickies.

Well were Guttered

As Promised by our Supervisor the fascia and gutters were put up Friday. Also the Chippy finished of a few little things like bulkhead in the kitchen and a few lentils that went missing over Chrismas.

Bring on the Roof Tiles.

Finally looking like a House

Well the 'Chipies' have finished the walls are up, the outside doors and windows are in and the roofing trusses completed.

Before Christmas we had a few hold ups, firstly the one of the guys shot himself in the knee with his nail gun 'OUCH'. Then the wrong trusses were delivered. After a rocket you know where on Monday it was all guns blazing with extra guys on site to finish the framing.

Here is our Alfresco and Bi-Fold Doors.

The Front Entry.

The Dining Room.

The Gutters and Fascia should be up tomorrow, and the Roof Tiling started next week.

I've got wood

After 21/2 week waiting for the slab to cure we had some action again, first the wood was delivered

Then the front door frame and the temporary front door.

Here is our front door and handle, it will be installed closer to handover so some nice person with light fingers doesn't borrow it.

The 'Chippies' then marked on the slab where the rooms will be.

And cut and laid the timber out to start building the frame.

It was really good to finally see the rooms where everything will be.






More work tommorow hopefully, according to our Supervisor the gutters and fascia will be on by Christmas. Better get moving boys.
