We have a 25sq 1 story house. Our bricks began on Monday and are apparently going to finish today.
Is that a normal time frame? Seems so fast compared to everyone else!

If it is, then I'd be having a little celebration! That sounds really fast. Did you have lots of brickies? Possibly, you should start packing sooner rather than later Re: Is it normal for bricks to complete within 3 days? 3Apr 21, 2010 1:54 pm I'm having an internal celebration I haven't seen it yet! Only get a chance to visit on the weekends. Hopefully they have done a good job, then I will really celebrate Lara and Joshua http://pdheywood25.blogspot.com/ viewtopic.php?f=31&t=31186 16.03.10 Scrape 29.03.10 Slab 08.04.10 Frame 11.05.10 Lock Up 03.06.10 Fixing 24.08.10 Handover Re: Is it normal for bricks to complete within 3 days? 4Apr 21, 2010 1:59 pm larajane I'm having an internal celebration I haven't seen it yet!

Yes, celebrate and then start packing Re: Is it normal for bricks to complete within 3 days? 5Apr 21, 2010 2:19 pm I hope so! The part before building was far from quick and painless, so I am loving this progress! Yay for packing, though we don't have much to bring with us. Can't wait to pack.

The brickwork was starting last Monday, we visited the site on Friday, and the brickwork was complete (the garage was already bricked in order to complete the frame). We are building a similar size house to yours, but also have quite a few big windows. The brickies did a fantastic job, i can't fault them at all. Very clean and neat. Dear J.K.

Sincerely, Anonymous Re: Is it normal for bricks to complete within 3 days? 11Apr 26, 2010 7:28 pm Our last house was bricked in about that time frame-and it was still standing when we sold it after 5 years (late last year)!
