Looking good. So far we've got a slab, a portaloo, and some wood piled up.
I notice you have an aerial - did you guys put that on ?
How long do they reckon till your finished?

Nah, we had the electrician do that while they were wiring up the house. I have posted a thread on it in the electrical forum
Just curious, the roof looks finished, but there seems to be some extra roof tile still on the roof??

Yes, they haven't 100% completely finished the roof yet, there are still all the whatever-you-call-it's to go in between the tiles on the peak parts...
looks great!...is the roof actually black? or a dark gray/charcoal?
We are having black roof, gutters and window frames with a sandy coloured brick...so just wondering what colour is your brick going to be?

Wow! Looks like a real house!
For some reason my builder does the bricks before the roof. Due to start the brick work hopefully within a week or two.
Not sure what the logic is there.

Ok, some of the bricks are up!!

That doesn't sound right to me. I always thought the roof should be installed before the bricks.
What if you got bad weather like the last few weeks, won't it causes damages to the frames and other internal structure stuffs?

According to the builder, it won't cause any issues as both the bricks and the roof will be done pretty quickly.
They are saying they don't want to put up the scafolding up twice, so they will do it once for the bricks and then use it to put the roof tiles up.

Hi aaurora,
Regarding the Alfresco in your 1st photo, are you getting slabs for the Alfresco or are you going to put in thinner slabs later as part of landscape like us?

Allan, We are getting the alfresco tiled but it will not be the same height as the slab, you have to step down onto it, if you know what I mean
