Bricks go up so quick! went yesterday and they have even put the meter box up! They still need to do the front wall. Also meet one of our neighbours and they seem nice. Will go back on Monday arvo and take more photos!

Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris. Re: Building the Pegasus in Bletchley Pk, Lisa and Shauns Ho 96Mar 03, 2010 11:25 pm Dont worry about the ******* looking brickwork, its normal. There is no need for mortar in between internal bricks as their is only vertical force on them. Also, if mortar was placed in between the brickwork, it would make it harder to size up a house and it would take longer to build due to bricks needing to be cut to properly fit the bricks. without mortar, brick join face to face. The only reason outside bricks have mortar in between them is for looks as they are visible, compared to internal bricks that are covered by render. I would freak out too if i didnt know Btw i would not be happy at all if i ordered those telfer bricks and got the darker ones, i would not let them continue. i really want a limestonish looking brick like the pictured telfer. nothing else. hope i choose the right ones. Re: Building the Pegasus in Bletchley Pk, Lisa and Shauns Ho 97Mar 05, 2010 1:11 am Wrexter, I know probably should of complained more about the brick colour!! but we are getting to like it now which is good. With the bricks, the outside ones, there are ones near the sand that arent filled in with mortar. will they fill in the gaps afterwards? yeah lots of dogy looking bricks inside but trying not to worry. Jodie, your house is so nice!! im not sure when they colourbond will be put on! might go back tomorrow! did notice gutter type things and celings already!!

A bit rude considering the slab went down in Dec!! I think builders like to make up extra expences! Went to the site today, we think soakwells have been dug and the electrician has started cutting into the brick where the power points will go. still waiting on the roof to arrive!
