It seems weird that they wouldn't put the whole window in at the same time, instead of coming back later to do it. I agree! its makes much more sense to pop all the windows (glass & all) in the first time around, and they could save $$ from not having them come back to install the glass, guess they are worried about some houligans coming along and smashing them or something! Cooped07 Hi... Your bricks look amazing. I love the colour and the design! As for a team of brickies - we had 5 brick the house and 1 poor apprentice cleaning up their mess! How cool is a tradie shed. I had never heard of one or seen one before, thats cool. Thanks!!! it took alot of time down at midland brick, staring at about 5 different bricks samples for a couple of hours before we reached our decision, but we are very happy I went past this morning and had a squiz at the brickie team, looks like they are a team of 4, which is really impressive seeing the amount of work they have done over these past couple of days! They must be "super brickies" thirsty OMG......How quick was that. Bricks look great Actually they look fanbloodytastic. By the way, I still cant find the tap I know!!! We are so so happy with how quick everything has come together, i dont remember the bricks going up this fast on our last house!! but that doesnt matter, just means we will be in quicker than we thought mind you quicker doesnt always better....but our friend is a brickie and seems to think they are doing a good job! and just especially for you here is a picture of my tap!!!
