What a difference a week makes!
We were thrilled to come back from holidays and have a frame, but only a week later to have a fully tiled roof, with all the gutters complete and a substantial amount of brickwork done is just ACE!
At the moment the brick work is just around the front of the house and down the side of the garage. There is a single course at the back of the garage, so it looks like they’re doing that next. The work all looks very nice, with all the right expansion gaps, ties and nice raking. All looks pretty good. Mind you, I’m a programmer… not a brickie!
Our bricks (Homestead Tan)
The roof tiles appear to mostly done, with only the caps on the top left to finish off by the looks of it. Of course the big surprise is UNDER the tiles.
The heating unit has already been installed and all the vents(?) are up in the roof going to all the separate rooms.
Lots happening in the roof!
If that wasn’t enough to get us excited, all the wiring in the house has been laid out, along with gas lines, water, tv and telephone cables! As an extra added bonus we even have a couple of baths!
If i wasn’t so busy with work, I’d head to the block and deliver the builders a slab of beer. At this rate, we’ll be at lock up in no time!
EDIT: We’ve just heard from our lovely CSR that we should be at lock up THIS WEEK!!
