Our bricks were all done in less than 2 weeks - so not long until you can walk through the house!!! Yes, mrs_smith, can't wait for that to happen!!!! As I was heading home earlier, it was really cloudy and getting dark. Looked like it was gonna pour anyminute...but I had to take pictures of course! We saw sand and there was a guy there putting the cement in the shed. Enjoy the photos....as the clouds envelope, the photos got a bit darker.

Thanks for pointing that out. But, I have no idea. Would anyone know? Not much happened today but the brickies came and did their PREP work...very organized . Sort out the window frames where they are supposed to be and also mend the edges of the slab. Guess they will be back on Monday to start their bricklaying with a GUSTO....! At least that's what we hope. Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Brickies are HERE! 52Nov 07, 2009 9:38 am If you go to my building thread, and Dragon's too, we're also building with Ultimate and our slabs didn't have the chips.... (You can see it in the photos). However I remember reading somewhere that it doesn't affect the structural capacity of the slab. If you want to query it with Ultimate just copy the photos of the edges that I have and show them what ours looked like and just query if it's ok. In the end though - you won't see it as the outer cavity bricks sit on the footings so the edges are hidden anyhow.

Yeah, as long as it doesnt affect the structural capacity of the slab then it's all good. But I shall just check with the builder anyhow, I mean how did the edges get chipped off anyway? But like you say, appearance-wise should be alright as the bricks will hide them anyway. We are more concerned about whether it would affect the structural capacity....hmmmmm...... But, the brickies did mend the edges all around the slab when they came yesterday. Re: The Roses' House by Ultimate Homes Perth- Brickies are HERE! 54Nov 09, 2009 11:17 pm After Day 1 of Bricking, we have one side of our home (the external wall). We are soooo happy The brickies have done a good job trying to keep the site very neat with a lot of the rubbish in the MESH dump area that they have created.
