Looks like everything is raring to go!

Yes hope the brickies show up soon. They cant possibly want those things sitting there too long, right? Door frames arrived today too!

Hi rex777, I hope you have your bricklayers soon, we have been waiting 7 weeks for ours and we got told yesterday, they have been delayed at previous job so will confirm for second time this when they will start!

I have lost all meaning in the word 'confirm'!!

I find it hard to believe the shortage excuse when my next door neighbour started site works a week before us and they are nearly at lock up!! Go figure.

Again, good luck...

7 weeks!!! Thats crazy, so true the word confirm must mean something else in the building world

We feel your pain rex777. We had slab go down roughly at the same time as you and we are still waiting for brickwork to start. Our land is fully loaded with bricks, frames etc we've even got the yellow pile of sand. We were also told a few weeks ago SS was delayed at previous job and today we were told the brickies they had lined up had declined our job and they are currently organising for another team. Very frustrating!

These bricklayers have all the power right now dont they. We have been told end of this week our bricks will start. Maybe I should put some cartons of beer on the slab so they dont pull out on us.

Sounds like a good idea rex777

rex777 · Jun 20, 2013 11:25 am

Our bricklayers arrived this morning. What a great feeling it is! Photo to come shortly.

That is fabulous news Rex!!!!!! Congrats on finally getting to this part!

soakedblonde · Jun 20, 2013 11:48 am

Woohoo!!!! So happy for you ::cheerleader::

_lucinda · Jun 20, 2013 1:51 pm

Looking forward to the photo!

LeanneR · Jun 20, 2013 3:31 pm

Oh woohoo that's great!!

rex777 · Jun 20, 2013 5:26 pm

A little bit done today. All the prep work would have taken a while. Marking the walls on the slab, shovelling off the sand from the slab and footings, setting up the levels. Anyway these photos show the first bricks layed.
