Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=63784 Re: Building in Richmond SA - Slabbed 29th Jan 13 127Apr 21, 2013 8:50 am Well we actually entered Lock up a couple of weeks ago but I've been too crazy busy at work to update this, plus now that we are in lock up and daylight savings has ended I cant get to site before the sun goes down to take photos and I don't really want to go over with a flashlight, that may look a bit suspicious! But we have a meeting with the Site Supervisor tomorrow to have a look at the progress so far so I'll have more photos for you then no doubt! But here are some from the last couple of weeks. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I LOVE our front door!!! These photos are ones that I took through the window two Saturdays ago on my way to work, on Monday the skirting boards where getting started and the tiles had been delivered.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This one I managed to squeeze my phone through a very tiny gap in the window and take a photo of our ensuite and walk in. The only other thing that happened this week was our storm water and because of the system that we are going with they had to change our downpipes from the streamline square set to a round one which don't look as good but it's better than having your house flooded! I've also noticed with the cooler weather coming that our front render is very reflective depending on how cloudy or sunny it is. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This was taken on an overcast day where it looks a bluey/grey colour Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And here it's a sunny day where it's a very warm tone. I'm undecided as to how much it bothers me just yet, will have to see once we get in there and have the garden in if that changes it at all. Luckily it would be easy to repaint if my perfectionist streak got the better of me! Tomorrow I should have a lot more photos to be able to update so stay tuned!

Re: Building in Richmond SA - Lock Up 11th April 2013 133Apr 22, 2013 6:04 am Thanks Everyone, we're really happy with how it's all coming together Miss Mia - they are hoping to have everything completed by the beginning of may so that we can do all the final inspections plus any fix ups and be by the end of may. So that will make it a 4mth build and our contract says 6mths so we are well ahead! Only thing that could delay things is if the stone tops have chips/cracks when delivered and need replacing.
