Bricking Day 8

Another fine day (weather wise) and more bricking is up. They are now almost complete with the external bricking. They lifted both the front and rear roller door T-bars into place and have completed the bricking for the rear. They should be completely finished with the outside on Monday. They have also done a lot of internal wall today. They finished the bedrooms/bathroom and laundry. Still have the family, home theatre and finishing off of the main bed and study walls. Ohh also the kitchen/library wall. So good progress and maybe they will finish on day 10.

Bricking Day 6

The brickies were back today! We also got another load of sand and external bricks. They have now finished the external wall on the garage side, and back to plate height, 31c. They have also prepared the bricks on the bedroom side so they can get started tomorrow . Then they just have to move the scaffold to the front. They do still have the garage boundary wall to start (and finish). Just did a quick calculation on the t-bar for the garage. It is 6m long and weighs around 200kg so not sure how they are going to lift it up into place.

New sand pile

Extra bricks delivered

Power Installed!!!!!!

Well no bricking today. I think the brickies turned up and went home due to the heavy rain. They did cover up the internal brick pallets though! Bec had a thought that maybe they thought the power was connected thus didn't bring their generator so no work could happen (as the power was not conencted). The power was only connected this morning! YAY! Custom Electrics then came this afternoon to put in the temporary power box.
The one on the right is ours.

Bricking Day 5

After 2 days rest (the weekend), more bricking was completed today. All internal perimeter walls are at plate height. A lot of the internal walls are also complete. Looks like they are leaving the front foyer wall until last so that they can have access. Ohh also no power connection today, maybe tomorrow.
