As its day (3) yet the just finish front door entrence and side and rear garage wall .. half of the front porch and side garage wall were the only brick work done on day1. They will power through even though its 2 brickies. there were 4 brickies + apprentice but I doubt they will all remain there till the end. We are meeting with the SS tomorrow and will double check with him too. The scaffolding had gone up around the entire house Y'day, but no other work other than that. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=63700&p=1043512#p1043512 13/12 Site works 05/2 Framing 11/2 Gutters 26/2 Bricks 7/3 Lockup 02/4 Fix complete 30/5 PCI 05/06 KEYS Re: building Portland 404 ~ Bricks started, Scaff up!!! 64Feb 26, 2014 9:26 pm Met up with our ss, so glad we did Bricks done carpentry tomorrow ( eaves, cladding,etc) Roof tiles for alfresco & garage done Window sills Lock up next week.. fix stage next week too *electrician *theatre wiring *duc vac *plastering viewtopic.php?f=31&t=63700&p=1043512#p1043512 13/12 Site works 05/2 Framing 11/2 Gutters 26/2 Bricks 7/3 Lockup 02/4 Fix complete 30/5 PCI 05/06 KEYS Re: building Portland 404 ~ Bricks started, Scaff up!!! 65Feb 26, 2014 9:32 pm tnikki Met up with our ss, so glad we did Bricks done carpentry tomorrow ( eaves, cladding,etc) Roof tiles for alfresco & garage done Window sills Lock up next week.. fix stage next week too *electrician *theatre wiring *duc vac *plastering Wow your house is moving along so quick ... Talking about your SS.. Did you arrange to meet him or is it standard process you get to meet ss at that time ? Do you have a contract admin calls and gives you weekly status updates? Reason I am asking is that we are now at brick stage and I have NOT even met the SS .. So wondering is that normal or is it just Burbank process ?

Reason I am asking is that we are now at brick stage and I have NOT even met the SS .. So wondering is that normal or is it just Burbank process ? We do have our admin who calls and emails us weekly updates. The SS calls the other half when there is a major update/ New stage.. He has given us his number and asked us to call anytime.. We asked him if he would like to meet with us and give us a walkthrough.. Burbank might have a privacy policy re ss contact deets.. Re: Portland 404 ~ Bricks completed, lock up next week 67Feb 28, 2014 7:43 am Yea Henley have a privacy act where you are not allowed to have your SS number. So we have to rely on our admin it's a pain in the ***!
