Bricks have started

On friday (13th) the bricks were started. They got two course's around the whole house done. Unfortunatly it started raining so they were gone by 11. Hopefully monday will be a nice day and they get alot more done.

The roof is done 26/2

Our roof was started on the 25th and they finished it on the 26th.

I got a call from Wayne today asking me to pick a different brick because the ones I chose are unavailable for afew weeks. He suggested we go with Austral Leisure, its slightly darker then engage. So thats what we are getting. He said hopefully it will start on thursday or friday.

This is our new brick

Frames are done

The frames & windows were delivered on Friday 13th. I went to the block on Monday expecting them to be started. Annoyingly they hadn't. On Thursday they finally started the framework. I got a call late Thursday arvo saying they were completed. When I went over it wasn't quite finished. The guys where there again today and finished them off. The windows are in except for the garage one, and the glass doors going to the alfresco are in as well.

The big pile of frames and windows. 

Starting to look like a house

Looking from the back

We have a slab

Our slab got done on Wednesday. It was good timing because Thursday was a miserable day.

The plumbing got done on Monday

This is only some of the rubbish they had laying around. I emailed Bernie and left the photo on Allworth's facebook page. The next day I had a 'bin' that was just a piece of mesh with 4 pegs holding it up in the shape of a square. They tided up most of the rubbish.

The foam and rio got done on Tuesday. This is looking from the back of the house

The slab got done on Wednesday. 

A little progress

We finally had a nice sunny day so they could get some more work done.
Had some deliveries and the peering is done. Hopefully it wont be much longer and we will have a slab.
The guys are messy, there's abit of rubbish laying around. Even afew largies...

It's finally started

Went to the block to see if they has started anything.
And this happened.

It has been dug down and raised more then we thought it would be, so we are definitely going to need retaining walls on both sides of the house 

Good news finally

Got an email from Irene my new CSO that construction should start towards the end of next week... Hopefully this does actually happen.
Also got a phone call yesterday that i got offered a traineeship in the mines driving dump trucks. It has been a good week for me. :)
