Painting has begun

Things are happening so quick I can barely keep up, almost everyday there has been some level of work being started or completed. Yesterday morning I see them rendering the front pillars, thinking great they will paint them probably next week, get home tonight and there are painted.

Anyway here's the front of house again, getting closer to what it will look like finished. The panel door will be paper bark, same as fascia's.

Locked out and locked up

We achieved lock up status this week, kitchen cupboards were delivered today together with a sundry of other items including the kitchen sink.
I received building approval earlier in the week for my shed and the site for said shed is being prepared this weekend. I guess my next items to buy will be storm water pipe and drainage bits and pieces. Fencing is another biggy that needs some attention and some dollars no doubt, a lot of DIY coming up. Its actually looking more than likely we will get the house before Xmas, wet area tiling, electrical, painting, a bit of a clean up and snap we are there.

Bricking finished week 2

And in a blur of cement and brick the house has been bricked. Very happy and they only stopped once for the rain. Rewards of beer and wine followed. The day after they finished bricking the insulation and gyp-rock was delivered.

The columns will be rendered

Rear of house

Bricking has started week 1

Big week last week, the brickies are on-site and da brickin' has started. It had been a tense time prior to seeing the bricks in place, having held the samples for so long and wondering what they will look like on mass combined with the roof, guttering and fascia's. I'm relieved some what, in fact I am quite happy with our selections, they seem to work well together.
