Latest pics up 89Feb 11, 2011 11:42 am The Bricks and window frames are now delivered and the shed slab has been laid. The supervisor told me the Brickies will be out there next week. Some bad news is the laminate we picked for the ensuite cupboards isnt available and we have to pick another colour. Thats going to be a challenge as that was the hardest one to find and the only one that matched our floor tiles.

Latest pics up 90Feb 19, 2011 12:47 pm latest update if anyones interested out there... the Bricks have started going down. Good to see things taking shape now. We have another customer relations person as the one we were using has left the company..Seems to be a common theme for us dealing with V. The 2nd colour we picked for the ensuite cupboards isnt available either so we have to pick again.

Latest pics up 96Mar 20, 2011 6:52 pm Heres a few more of the latest pics. the bricking is almost complete. Theres only the pillars for the alfresco and pantry to go. They have put one door frame the wrong way around in the bedroom so the hinges open out into the hallway. I let the CLO know so see how they fix that one. g] My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=33640&p=476552#p476552 Prelim signed 23Dec09 Contract signed 18May10 Earthworks Building Licence 13Aug10 Earthworks Started 11Oct10 Building Licence issued 11Nov10 Slab 18Jan11 Bricking Started 16Feb11 Re: Bricking started!!! Latest pics up 97Mar 21, 2011 3:24 am So they've been bricking for a month and are almost finished... not bad. You happy with the workmanship? We had some real doosies with our brickwork, so make sure you check it closely. I guess you are since you picked up the door frame. Hopefully you'll get some roof timber (or steel) soon.
