The place looks enormous! Where is the big shed going to fit? Looks like we will run with a double storey house. Wouldn't mind taking a peek at your next time I'm in Rowville (my sister lives there). Also would like to have a chat some time about home theatre..... Cheers Perry Re: Scaffolding and Plumbing...still no roof!! :( 3Jun 20, 2007 9:16 am "Disheartening"
What!!! You almost have a house after no time at all. You should be over the moon, you're just getting spoilt 3xb Re: Scaffolding and Plumbing...still no roof!! :( 4Jun 20, 2007 9:35 am I agree 3xb - The place is going gang busters.
It's always funny how a few bits of timber stood up to make a frame - makes a place look like it wil be finished in days, then lots of stuff happens for what appears to be little progress. Still lots fo stuff happeneing, just no as impressive in the - Wow look at whats chanegd each week. Patience young Matt, patience.

You almost have a house after no time at all. You should be over the moon, you're just getting spoilt 3xb lol I know... It is disheartening when you know that the roof should have been on 2 weeks ago (6th June it was supposed to be on) and it is still not there.

And I've just spoke to my supervisor who said the bricks will need to be done first before the scuffoldings are put up, so the roof tiles would be done just after the bricks.
I thought it would be done other way around, as in Matt's case. Anyone know if that's a normal practice?
