roof tiles

Our roof tiles were delivered last thursday. Drove past this afternoon and looks like the majority of tiles where up. Also spotted our requested sarking on the underside. Guttering and fascia also in place, can't remember the colour names were but I think the gutter was woodland grey and the fascia..honestly can't remember at all. Considering its only Monday, I don't think it would be a big expectation to have the roof completed, electrical rough-in, insulation and f/c for eaves and infills completed by this week.

speeding up

I have to say our bricky is picking up the pace this week, in 3 days he has completed the rest of the left and right sides of the house. The only major thing left to do is the alfresco at the back of the house and bricks under the windows. The top back of the house is FC infill so there isn't that much to do  I Think the right side of the facade is still missing a soldier course of bricks, this most likely because of the scaffolding being directly above this area. Hopefully all brick work will finalise by the end of this week or early next week so we can get the roof up!

its a new year

Well its a new year now 2012, and my predictions of completing the facade and brick work completed by xmas was a bit off...it didn't happen, I guess the raining here and there didn't help either. Despite the brickies working throughout the holiday season, minus the actual public holidays. We have just completed the front balcony on Friday 6th of January. I've also noticed they only put 3 holes for the up/down lights to the front of the house. We have requested 5 all up. Fingers crossed for the weather so we can get all the brickwork finished and by pass this bottleneck. One street away, another house double storey as well started building after us and manage to be one stage ahead of us. They already have alll the brick work completed, roof up, dry wall and electrical rough in. And we are still at at about 70% bricked.
