Bricking Still In Progress

Hello all,
Just a quick update. The brickes are probly 80% done. They have done 95% of one wall and have gone up half way on most of the other walls. They may have some delay on the front of the garage as this needs to be repaired and rectified. The timber studs hang well over and the lip for the garage panel lift door needs to be redone. Other than that its looking very good. So as usual till the next installment enjoy the photo's.

Hello once again.
Well it hasnt even been a week and the house is progressing very quick. I am gobsmacked at how well they are going, since the last post they have installed the colorbond roof complete with whirly bird and hot water solar panel. The bricking has commenced and is probly a quarter complete and they have installed the evaprative cooling unit & ducts along with the heater unit & ducts as well as all the electrical cabling. The final 2 windows in the family room have finally been installed as well, however one is broken and will need to be replaced. They seem to be completing things everyday.
It looks like all the issues found in our inspection are getting rectified. I will again get in contact with the SS and see whats going on.

Til the next installment enjoy the photo's.

We Are Wrapped

Welcome to another installment of our blog. We are wrapped that our house has been wrapped ready to brick up. All the plumbing has been completed. We are still awaiting for 2 more windows to be installed in the family room and our bricks are on site ready to go.
We also had an independent house inspection on Tuesday and there were 8 items to be addressed. I have forwarded this to our CRC & SS. The items picked up seem to be easy fixes which is a bit of a relief,  wheather or not they knew they had to do them before we sent the report im not sure, although there was a couple that we were told about when we had our site meeting just over a week ago. I think they have started to fix some of the issues from the report. I will call our SS tomorrow to check the status.
I would now assume that they will start laying the bricks next week as we had some pretty horrible weather this afternoon & they still need to put in the front garden taps in so the brickies can mix up the mortar.

Again, I hope you enjoy the photo's.

Gutters & Facia's

Hello once again,

It's good to see that our Site Supervisor in our meeting last week said that he expected all the framing to be done and the guutters & facia's to be put on. He didnt disappoint, the gutters & facia's are all up framing is complete and they are placing the beams for the colorbond roof on top of the roof trusses. Just a small section to go to finish that phase. I will suspect that our windows will be installed this week along with the house & roof wraping (sisalation insulation).
We have also organised to get an independant building inspection, this is being conducted on Tuesday 14th Feb. The wife & I have already noticed some small things as well as our SS pointing out somethings, so it will be interesting to see what else they find. I think the framing looks pretty good to the first home builders eye. If all goes well I hope to see them comence the bricking by the end of this week. Fingers crossed.
Well till the next installment please enjoy the photo's again.

We've Been Framed

Hello again,

Well we went to our site meeting on tuesday morning to have a meet & greet with our site supervisor, which we are very happy with, he's very pleasant and seems to know whats going on. We rolled up to site to see that they have erected 95% of the frame and need to install the roof trusses. It was very exciting to see that the house is moving quite quickly. He's expecting the frame stage to be completed by this week and start wrapping and installing gutter & facia's and windows. He thinks there's a chance to start bricking as early as next week, which i was surprised. If they keep going at this rate I suspect they might almost have lock up at the end of the month, which would be great. Well as usual, until the next installment enjoy the photo's.
