Week 09 - Scaffolding up
(18 Feb 2013 - 23 Feb 2013)
Monday 18 February 2013: Scaffolding up
Went by this morning to see the scaffolding were delivered. Weather looks cloudy today and showers are predicted. I am crossing my fingers for no rain.
Drove past again this evening to see the scaffolding has been put up, I guess this means that the top storey bricks will be starting soon. Spoke to SS and was told that they will be back on Monday. That means no work will be carried out for the rest of the week.

Week 08 - Bricks Started
(11 Feb - 16 Feb 2013)
Monday 11 February 2013: Bricks Started
Very excited to see the bricks have started on the ground floor. I think they look great, happy with the brick selection The mortar also looks good (Mortar - raked off-white) with the bricks.
They started around the garage, Alfreso and the Rumpus room. We were really happy to see some bricks up. I think there were only three brick layers laying the bricks.
Tuesday 12 February 2013: More Bricks
Brickwork complete on towards the garage, Kitchen & Rumpus Room.Brickwork almost complete on ground floor.
The end of the brickwork is in sight !!
Though it can't go any further until the scaffolding is up & that hasn't been completed yet.

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.

Week 05 - First Floor Frames
(21 Jan - 26 Jan 2013)
Monday 21 January 2013: First Floor Frames Up
Our frames were 99% completed today. I can't describe how excited we feel. We had a decent walkthrough after they had left and could finally truly visualise what we will have. Its quite breathtaking and makes all the planning, organising and waiting, well and truly worth it. Also, we chose the 2.7m ceilings and man they are big. I feel like an ant standing next to the frames.
Wednesday 23 January 2013: Roof Trusses Started
Our roof trusses were started today.
Yesterday saw more roof truss work and delivery of the steel support beams for above the alfresco doors and above the front portico.
Friday 25 January 2013: We have a Balcony
We probably wont see any more action until Tuesday due to the long weekend.

Week 04 - Ground Floor Frames
(14 Jan - 19 Jan 2013)
Monday 14 January 2013: Ground Floor frames partially completed
Our first level frames were delivered today so we are pretty happy about that. We are also pretty stoked as we have weather forecast so hopefully this helps get things done. The Ground floor frames were partially completed.
Wednesday 16 January 2013: Ground floor fully completed
With the frames they deliver the Ground floor and when it's finished they then deliver the first floor and the truck puts it straight up on top of the first storey. We noticed today that top level frames have been delivered. It's starting to take shape. Compared to yesterday only a little work appears to have been done today. The beams were put in place for the first storey, the wood has been moved up there too, ready to be put together next week. The Ground first floor has had a few boards put up around the internal & external walls.
I can't wait to get up to the block on the weekend and have a look around, it's going to be so exciting to finally walk around in our new house. Now, it's just a matter of days till I receive the next invoice, then I can say it's officially done.
