Great to see it come together so well for you. Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 123Dec 17, 2008 1:37 pm We have over taken you!! 
Looking good, hopefully there will be no more delays for you. Our roof timber only took a couple of days, so hopefully you have a roof before xmas. *fingers crossed* They may be cutting it fine though! Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 124Dec 17, 2008 4:57 pm Well today is the 2nd day & they seem to be steaming along with the timber, so yes the roof goes up quick. Although I doubt that we will have any colorbond this week.
Ok some photos I took this arvo...

 You can really see what it will look like now the roof timbers are on.Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 126Dec 17, 2008 10:49 pm  kexkezNIce shots pebble.

Yes I agree it's great to be able to get a good overall profile, I think that's my favourite shot to see the progress by. Hubby said he was surprised that there weren't more angles - I think he's confusing it with the likes of Plunkett designs where they have hte extra decorative rooflines (which I honestly don't fancy - I'm a bit of a plain and simple person), but he liked them. Anyway still verandahs to go on and the patio / alfresco or whatever it's called. 03 Aug 2008 74 Melbourne Loyal Member Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 127Dec 18, 2008 9:29 am It is looking great Pebble.
I love the look of the double brick, such a difference from how houses are built over here. Great looking land. Just the love the trees.

Umm no I haven't had too many festive drinks (yet), just pleased with todays progress, it's great to see the verandahs taking shape.

We plan on putting up a patio or possibly 2 patios around our house later one. But having it built it is such a lovely way to be able to do it. Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 132Dec 19, 2008 7:22 pm Boy, this went up fast, where have I been?
Looks really good Pebble. Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 133Dec 19, 2008 7:28 pm I love light bricks with black windows.
Can't wait to see the roof go on. I agree with kexkez, you are able to get some fabulous pics.
Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 134Dec 20, 2008 12:24 am  jolesI love light bricks with black windows. Can't wait to see the roof go on. I agree with kexkez, you are able to get some fabulous pics. Jo  Hmmmm Hopefully the window frames will look half as good when they rip the black plastic off
I agree the black goes really well but we chose a cream sort of colour (or off white I suppose) for the frames. At the moment they still have the black protective plastic on. So yes it will be very interesting to see the difference! Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 135Dec 20, 2008 8:31 pm Hmmm thie stove recess thing looked a bit narrow to me, I measured it, it's 51cm, on the plan it says 60cm. Soooo there seems to be a mistake somewhere - it's too narrow by 1 brick width.
Hmm either the lintel was too short or they misread the plan and saw "51cm linen cupboard" written on it, thinking that was the width of the kitchen one too. How wide is a normal oven? Can anyone with a standard oven let me know? I know our microwave is on the small side and it's about 48cm, so really I can't see how an oven would fit in that gap without being a tight squeeze (if at all).

Lol, I don't think you're an idiot, but I can say "thanks for the laugh". Lol, nice to know someone is taking that much interest to worry about the details! Re: Pebbles progress ...living and loving 139Dec 21, 2008 9:59 pm Gee I hope you guys don't mind all these photos. I just can't help myself!!
