NBG Manhattan - pics p46

Fascia and gutters

Great news Row, finally glad to see some progress for you & the family! The house looks great & I can imagine your excitement as you walked through every room for the first time!!! COngrats !!!!

Thanks Cinny. It's game on now. Can't imagine that we will be at lock in a few weeks.

Welcome back Janelle. Thanks. Plenty of action now

It's mad!!! Hope you are enjoying landscaping your new front yard. It looks great.

That's the best thing about H1, is that everyone knows how you feel. It's really special trying to plan where everything will go and how it'll look. Thanks Jodie. Hope you are enjoying your lovely new home.

I drove past the place last night at about 6pm and the gutters were on. The roof bits and pieces were packed up on the ground. Today we went out and the whole roof was on!!! A family member had texted me at 11.30am to say how nice the roof was. So, they must have put the whole roof in from first light this morning as they were gone by 11.30am!!! How quick is that!!!

I definitely had a colorbond moment looking up at our beautiful roof! No pics yet, as I'm on the old computer as the other one is at the doctors. Plus...more good news.....bricks arrived this week and the brickies are due to start on Tuesday. The windows are also being delivered this week. I believe there are about 3 brickies on the job, so by next weekend we should see lots of brick walls...if the weather holds up. WoooHooo!

Wow Row that is great news! And after all that waiting they should be flying along too!!

I'm sure that you will be moving in before us! Or at least around the same time!

Thanks Herbi and D. Builder still thinks that we will be in Jan. I will be out of town again all week. Next time I visit the brickies will be hard at it! I promise lots of pics next weekend.

There is a huge pile of windows in your garage!!!!

Woohoooooooooooooooo!

Congrats on the roof. Can't wait to see piccies.

Thanks carlswil and flaggie. As promised, photos below
Yeah Can't wait to see them between the bricks! Not sure where the brickies are...maybe scared off by the weather

yummy roof! can't quite see the colour from this angle. will have to take a photo from the street when the sun is shining so you can see the aubergine tones.

view from the garage looking down the hallway. if you are wondering what the pipe is doing in the hallway - it's the shower pipe about a metre too far over they tell me it's easily fixed

Nice roof.

Beautiful roof!!
It is a little hard to make out the colour with the sun shinning on it, you'll just have to deliver more photos

Awesome Like the colour choice Hopefully they can fix the pipe easy.....

YAY Roof!

I think your pipe placement beats ours! They cut into the slab, add a join or two and voila! fixed!

You could just leave the shower there for a very interesting talking point!!! Bathrooms are so overrated!

Wow Rowena, the photos are great - it looks fantastic!! how exciting!! Looking forward to watching it "grow"

Thanks guys Dee, herbiecat, Jessie, Barb, Kaytee and Ruralife

The windows are now in! Having difficulties getting a brickie - I think I heard someone else on H1 talking about a brickie shortage in Melb at the moment.

Oh wow, it's all coming together so nicely!! Looks great Rowena

It's funny how many houses end up with a pipe in the wrong spot!! Will keep my fingers crossed for you for a brickie to come along soon and get those bricks up

Thanks RL. Calling Mr Brickie.....

re: pipe. below is a pic. it's a large chunk of slab as it was to meant to accommodate an S bend pipe. it's actually filled alot with saw dust and is a bit deeper than the photo shows. it was meant to be in the room in the behind, where the shower will be! I just hope that it's nice and smooth/level when they finish patching it up, as I don't want our floorboards to be uneven.

Your house is green tonight..... You've been wrapped!!!! So brickie must be close!!!
