04-03-09 Brickwork started.

Small update today.
Brickwork has started around the front of the house.
A little confused thou, the sand is quite light (see 'side' photo from yesterday) and the mortar is for off-white, but it just looks greyish? (I know its probably still drying)
We'll see how it all turns out.

23-02-09 Update

Ok, no updates over the last few weeks, we can blame that on the rain!
Since the last post, the Windows have been installed, and the guttering is being installed (nearly complete.) The bricks are onsite, however the SS says the roof will be up before the bricks will be.

06-02-09 / 09-02-09 Framing

I had called the supervisor on Friday for an update on things to come. He advised there was a surprise for me out on the block. Sure enough, on Friday night we headed out and the frame was up. Went out this afternoon and most of the frame for the roof is up as well.

04-02-09 Rooms marked out

Ok, time for an update. Not too much happening from the looks of things, from far away, but from up close, there has been.
On Monday, the external drains and water tap went in. Along with the downpipes
Couldn't see much done on Tuesday
On Wednesday, the fence was put up around the property, and today, it looks like they've marked out the frame on the slab. Its cool seeing the size of the rooms, i'm sure they'll look bigger with walls up!
