The heating has gone in and they've also installed the firebox for the gas fireplace that will be put in later. I'd say we were about a week or maybe two from lock-up.

Lock up is exciting though. Have you been in this week? The bricks look great cleaned. Took the guy most of the day. They were doing more brickwork around alfresco the other day. Can't tell you much about the inside but have seen the odd plumber, electrician about. All the best with Fixing.

Re: The Eskay Saga - We have a ROOF! 275Aug 15, 2011 1:22 pm You got the base coat on that pink section over the weekend. Nov handover sounds quick! You must be busy packing by now then I have just unpacked half a dozen med-large sturdy boxes. If you want them, let me know otherwise they'll be binned. I've already given away heaps. http://glenn-and-denhs-tribeca.blogspot.com/ Handover: Thurs 9th June!!! Fixing: forever and ever and ever...... Lockup: late Feb 2011 Re: The Eskay Saga - We have a ROOF! 276Aug 15, 2011 3:05 pm Thanks Denh, The November handover is a wish at this stage. I told them that's what I want but I think it'll be pushing it. Great to hear the base coat is finally on. Hopefully when he gets back to it (next week if this weather is any indication) he'll do the colour coat for that wall as well as the facade. We've ordered the acoustic insulation. It should be there Friday. My son and I will be there all day Saturday installing it. No packing yet. I'll start thinking about that when the walls are in! SK.
