Bricks moved off the pallets around the house so hopefully tomorrow the bricking will start!! One thing though, there is a power point in the wrong place and despite a few emails over the last 2 days, it still hasn't been moved and we are worried the gyprocking will be started now the insulation is done.

I could only see one old fellow and yes he was old. Hope he had a helper out the back, otherwise it could be a long time before it is all bricked. He was not moving very fast. Thank goodness for no rain!! Pic to follow hopefully tonight.

With the 18 week build guarantee we worked it out that they should be in first week of December but the way it is flying along i wouldnt be surprised if it at least a month before that.

So he has been told to skip payment 5 and they will adjust final payment 6. Maybe that is why they are flying along with the build (except for the bricks).

This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17986 |
