Roof and Wrapped

More progress! Very happy with how things are going, although of course hanging out for those bricks to start. They have put the piles of bricks around the house now and there is a massive pile of sand, so clearly the brickies must be starting very soon. Yaaaay!!

So in that last few days they have almost finished the roof (just a little remaining at the front), and wrapped the house waiting for the bricks to start. So inside it feels different with the external walls sort of there.

Good news too, our independent inspector has spoken with the site supervisor to arrange the pre plaster inspection and was told they expect to start plastering in a week and a half. Great news! So that means we will be at lock up pretty soon - which is of course when they invoice for a massive progress payment....

Photos now!

First one, from front of house - they have started to frame the entrance way and the door frame for the entry pivot door is waiting to go in with a temporary front door, plus frame and door for garage door into house. So getting ready for lock up.


Another shot from the front to show more of the roof, the wrapping and the bricks all laid out and ready to go.

From alfresco looking into family and dining room. Much more like a room now. And it really isn't too big!! Looks even bigger here as can still look through to lounge next door of course.


And now a couple of shots from outside to show what area we have to work with for decking and landscaping. Lots of space, just a slope to deal with.

  2. Thanks PC. Yes I love the roof and am hanging out to see how the bricks looks with it. Very impressed with the speed for sure. We will be at lock up very soon it seems - then we will ask about time to the end, most likely three months from then. Yaaay!
