Bricks look lovely + the tones in your colourbond are v e r y nice too. Yay for your build! Congratulations on lock-up, wow, it does seem to have flown by. Looking at the house from that angle, it was so great that you were able to have your entry on that 'long' side of the corner instead of the short side of the corner ~ letting you have a beautiful wide frontage... Also loving your door handle too! _______________________________________________________________ We're a knockdown | rebuild ~ Melb SE burbs Building modified version of the Fairhaven Glenaire Homeone thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28429 _______________________________________________________________ Re: NBG Manhattan - locked up 824Nov 21, 2010 10:01 pm CiNnY Row that gap will probably be caulked and as for the mortar blow out we had several after cleaning they just fixed them up!

However, we are kicking ourselves that we didn't get one for the internal garage door as well, as this will be the main door to enter once you've parked the car etc. Oh, well. Still have to fumble around with keys for that one Actually now I think it about it I don't have a keyless lock from garage either. Oh well, at least we are out of the rain when we are fumbling for keys. Brickwork is looking fantastic and I love your roof.

We do have solar panels on the roof, see below...I guess this is progress! http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab307/Rowena50/IMG_0298.jpg Re: NBG Manhattan - locked up 827Dec 08, 2010 7:56 pm Yep-I know that feeling!

I like the character in your bricks a lot and I really like your front door. I wanted one of those, but Ash wasn't keen, so I have slotted door instead lol The sacrifices we have to make Land Deposit - 18/12/2009 Became a land Baron - 21/12/2010 Site Start - 27/1/2011 All moved in!!

I'm afraid there is no update. We were advised that there would be no more work until Jan 15th due to people on leave. They still need to complete the rough-in then they can start plaster. The waiting game continues... Re: NBG Manhattan - locked up 837Jan 05, 2011 8:35 pm WE'll wait with you Row!
