Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 07, 2009 9:23 pm Our build is moving along..not quite so fast as Lisanne(!) and some of the others, but at a steady pace..some brick pics below, as promised for Buzz!
We love, love, love the bricks, they look great. PGH Sorbetto with off white flush mortar. You can tell the bricks at the top haven't dried as much as those at the bottom. These haven't been cleaned yet either. Windows are arch white. Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics (especially for Buzz) 2Aug 07, 2009 9:33 pm YAY!!!!!! THEY LOOK FANTASTIC!!! YES, I AM SHOUTING!!!! Of course I was wondering how you were going with the build. No probs? Gee, they look so nice I'm so happy. Any probs with chipping of the bricks?? We are supposed to start 20th August, so hopefully soon I'll have some pics to share... just need to learn how to post pics Thanks so much for posting those pics.... buzz Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics (especially for Buzz) 5Aug 07, 2009 11:29 pm lol. I picked these bricks also. So great to see them with the white mortar Can't wait to see them go up. Buz when are you starting to build? Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics (especially for Buzz) 8Aug 08, 2009 4:30 pm LOL Buzz - I'm pleased you're pleased!! Build is going well, brickies are doing a great job (as far as my brick-laying-uneducated-eyes go anyway!). Certainly haven't noticed any chipped bricks, and none placed the wrong way yet either (only two sides of the brick are the grey colour...a 'face' and an 'end'!). They're probably just over 1/2 done, still the other side of the house to go... Roof trusses next, then the roof (boral striata gunmetal) and gutters etc (woodland grey)... can't wait to see how it all looks! Buzz, 20th August, not far way, pretty exciting!!! Netadelle, when do you start??? Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics (especially for Buzz) 11Sep 02, 2009 11:04 pm Any more pics of the bricks ???

Tiles HAVE been delivered so hoping these'll be done early next week - THEN I can post some pics!!!!! Promise! Buzz, have you started?? Re: Havingfun - Sorbetto Brick pics (especially for Buzz) 16Sep 04, 2009 11:19 pm Yay!!! for havingfun!!!! Bummer it's going slowly though. We have started, only to a week from site scrape to slab. Got a slab on 28th.... waiting on the frame (or framers? ). They should start on the 14th... can't wait to see my bricks. I still drop in here to see them.

(well, nearly ). Sorry for the pic quality, took photos from the car due to the rain..... Love the tiles (Boral Striata in Gunmetal), very happy with them. Gutters are woodland grey and I can see a bit of that greenish tinge that everyone talks about Will have to go back and have a good look when the weather improves.... The portico will be rendered and purple!
