Browse Forums Building A New House Re: 2 Kids + Triplets = Need a bigger house! - Frame complet 61Nov 04, 2014 6:22 pm So my bricks were supposed to start tomorrow after the crew were due to finish a single storey yesterday and with the SS assuming they wouldn't do anything today. I noticed yesterday morning that somebody had been on site over the weekend breaking down all the pallets of bricks getting ready. No activity yesterday but then they were onsite bright and earlier today. Looks like they've just laid the first course the whole way round the house so I'm guessing they knocked off earlier for the pub? But at least it's a start. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0799.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0801.jpg Another Wisdom home in the estate went from a pile of frames yesterday afternoon to most of it up by 8:15am this morning (and it looks basically done this afternoon). Sure it's a single but that's bloody quick.

Very nice!! My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: 2 Kids + Triplets = Need a bigger house! - We have Brick 67Nov 11, 2014 6:49 am Yesterday's effort. Looks like they need scaf now so the roof will be next, then the brickies will come back. At this rate we'll overtake the house next door in a couple of weeks. They had their frame up before we had our fence delivered. Haven't seen anybody at their site in a month. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0818.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0819.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0820.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0821.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0822.jpg Re: 2 Kids + Triplets = Need a bigger house! - We have Brick 69Dec 09, 2014 10:42 pm Bricks complete today (and got the invoice the same day). They are planning to complete the eaves & upper cladding, take the scaf down & clean the bricks by Xmas. Bummed they won't get the lower roof on but they are coming back mid-Jan so it's not too bad. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0866.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0868.jpg Re: 2 Kids + Triplets = Need a bigger house! - Bricks comple 71Dec 19, 2014 8:00 pm Where we got to by the Xmas break: http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0883.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0882.jpg Hoping to be in by the Easter holidays but they'll have to make good progress when they come back. Re: 2 Kids + Triplets = Need a bigger house! - Bricks comple 72Dec 19, 2014 8:23 pm Wow, it looks great! Re: 2 Kids + Triplets = Need a bigger house! - Bricks comple 75Jan 20, 2015 2:41 pm Yep. saw the lower roof today. I hope they remember to paint the vent pipes before they pull the scaf down. White vents on a monument roof sticks out a bit. Hopefully they get cracking on the inside early but they aren't schedule to till next week. We had a slight hiccup with our tiles last week. The tile we selected for the floor/walls in 5 bathrooms was discontinued. After the initial shock I'm actually kind of glad it happened because we think the replacement works better (and they waved the extra labour charge to put 450mm tiles on the walls). Pool will be dug once the scaf comes down too. Re: 2 Kids + Triplets = Need a bigger house! - Bricks comple 76Feb 10, 2015 8:00 pm They dug the pool yesterday and looks like they are finished today because the excavator is gone. I'm guessing they'll form it up next and put the piers in. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/a815de63-ee37-411a-9791-f644b5977cf5.jpg Gyprock and cornices are nearly done. Apparently the finish carpenter is next and then we'll be locked out http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0899.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p556/Matthew_Medlin/IMG_0895.jpg We're looking at a minimum of 2 weeks to do all the tiling so fingers crossed they power on so we can be done by the Easter holidays.

After 3 days onsite they have probably done 2 out of 5 bathrooms (although they seem to have done something in all 5 but only one looks finished) so I think they'll be at it all next week and possibly the week after (they also have the living area's and 2 outdoor areas to tile).

Congratulations on your pool and lock up as well.
