(P 82Sep 29, 2012 9:32 pm Hey PS_Sirocco The roof trusses look great. How long after your frame was up did they start on the roof trusses? We drove past today and they have completed all of the ground floor! Hoping they start on the second floor on Tuesday.

Cant wait to see your mirror splashback. da39 - We are only a single story but they completed the frames in 1 day then the following day they started the trusses. Then the following day, which was Friday just gone, they did some more work on the trusses. So far it loos like they are 40% done. They left a tool trailer here so I dare say they will be back on Tuesday to get back into it and there will be another crane here loading the rest of the trusses and the steel beams into place. We also got a our second progress payment invoice on Friday so its straight to the bank on Tuesday to knock it over. Re: Masterton Sirocco 7- South Coast NSW- We have frames!

They delivered our frame Wed, got the back done Thu, front done Fri, now I can see there is frame and flooring and steel beams for the second story so guess that will happen next week along with the roof trusses. We got our second progress payment on Wed after they delivered the frame due next Wed. Its exciting isnt it? Im so happy for you youll be in before you know it. By the way our neighbour is going owner builder he started heaps before us single story and we will be infront by next week so they really are powering on. Makes the wait worth it. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46741 Clovelly - Masterton Homes 5% to M 290312 CDC 21/06 20 days 29/08 Slab 17/09 Frame 26/09 Bricks 24/10 Roof tiles 20/11 Re: Masterton Sirocco 7- South Coast NSW- We have frames!

Looks like they will be back tomorrow to install the door frames and place the steel beam above the garage Also, paid the second progress payment today. Now the interest rates kick in again.

(P 86Oct 02, 2012 8:04 pm Exciting!!!! Looks like maybe one more day and they are done, ready for plumbing and bricks. Yeah, Great news about interest rates At work we need to get interest rates for a term deposit maturing tomorrow, and they have dropped by a full 1%. So that means banks are forescasting interest rates to drop even further, that would be great for us paying the ever increasing construction mortgage. We built the Wisdom Majestic 40 - moved in!

Re: Masterton Sirocco 7- frames, trusses & windows done (Pic 88Oct 03, 2012 4:38 pm The carpenters were back today and tidied up the frames and trusses and also installed the Front and Laundry door frames.

Also, to our surprise our Vanilla bricks were delivered today aswell. I spoke to our site supervisor and he told us that there is meant to be 9000 bricks!! He also said that the brickies should be here next wednesday to get started. In the mean-time we should see a delivery of sand and the house wrapped. I was really hoping the roof would be done first as we are expecting rain next week. Oh well.....

I noticed the plumbers knocked out the noggins and ran pipework where our shower niche was meant to be in the main bathroom. This will need to be rectified.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It also occurred to me that they are running out of time to do the Enviroseal wall wrap. Which also didn't make sense as I always thought they would be doing the roof first then the wrap so the brickies can work on the exterior and at the same time, the internals would begin. Spoke to the SS and he said he didn't notice it in our Tender but he has still arranged for the brickies to come on Wednesday to do the first course of bricks. Then the termite treatment system will be installed on Thursday, as-well as the Enviroseal wall wrap.

It wasnt that heavy but it wouldve been very uncomfortable for them. We also had the granitegard pest treatment start yesterday. He got most of it done but I think it just got too wet for him and he left. Its way too wet to do anything today. The ground has softened so much cos of the rain. It caused about 6 piles of bricks to topple over and hit the frames. Luckily they didnt hit any windows.
