Monday 28 January 2013: Australia Day - Public Holiday
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY
And all our windows were delivered today.
I went past there this afternoon and they were in. We chose Hammersley Brown for all the windows.
I'm hoping the windows will look better ones everything is done.
Wednesday 30 January 2013: Bricks/Mortar Delivered
The frame is pretty much complete now and the bricks have arrived. We're not sure why the plumbing is done before the brickwork. Now the brickie has to brick around the plumbing rather than the plumber just drilling a hole through the brickwork.
I think the palette of bricks we received looks good so far, I was worried we would get a dark palette but they look great.
Coosing the bricks was soooo hard, numerous weekends were spent looking at houses to see what the bricks looked like. It was hard to visualise what it would look like just by looking at a wall of bricks, I needed to see a whole house.
The off-white mortar/cement were delivered and that was it. Hoping the weather will improve over the weekend, surely they'll start the bricks next week... The bricks are Austral Everyday Life Freedom. The mortar will be raked and off-white in colour; can't wait to see how this looks.
