Bricking Begins

The bricking began yesterday and I forgot to take my camera, I stopped by this afternoon to take a few and my battery went dead - oh dear! But never fear (as I am sure you all are - ha ha) I managed to take a few snaps before it died. We are really looking forward to seeing the bricking progress!

We have plaster!

The plaster has been completed Friday/Saturday - it is amazing how it now really feels like a 'real house'. We are pretty sure the bricking will begin today so stay tuned for an update on that!

House is Wrapped

Went past the block today and Millie called out "Look at our green house" from the back seat - we have been wrapped! (I think that is what it is called??) Lots had happened today - front door on - and I love it looks great. Bath frame is in - door frames for sliding doors are in - it is really coming together now!

Roof Tiles On

Dave went for an inspection yesterday with our new SS. He seemed to be very friendly and helpful so that was good. There was a big team to do the roof tiles and we were told it would be almost finished in one day! When I went to have a look later in the day I was very excited to see that the roof tiles were nearly completed! Our SS thinks we will be at lock up in two weeks - very exciting that it is all happening so quick!

Frame/Roof Trusses Finished

Well we had a call from Carlisle today and we have a NEW site supervisor - third one! Lets hope this one remains until the end. He said the frame is finished (and we got ANOTHER invoice in the mail today), Fascia has been delivered and will go on tomorrow and next week the roof tiles will go on. All the windows are in now, including the double stacker sliding door - looks great!

Frame almost finished - Roof delivered ready to put on!

We are amazed at how much work is being done in this shocking weather. Feel sorry for the tradies working in the rain - but this week we have seen the frame go up, windows starting to go in - and roof truss' delivered ready to go on - maybe they will start the roof tomorrow! Exciting times!

Frame has started!

We were surprised to see that the frame has started and they are doing it from scratch - we assumed they would buy the pre-fab stuff - anyway it looks good so far! Hopefully it will be done by the end of the week! I only took a couple pics as they were still working away!
