Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth

Hootie · Mar 15, 2015 1:37 am

Congrats on bricks!

We've had a few bent pipes too and have made this known to the SS. We were guaranteed that these will be replaced by the plumbers. 2 of them which had copper pipes in them have already been repaired....

And tractor prints too! Looks like these could be a common thing on slabs lol...

Thanks Hootie! I find the tractor prints funny, like they were doing wheelies or something.

Thats a unique build I think for Oz, nice to see some real variety here. I miss some of the "twists and turns" you get in some foreign designs.

Thanks TheBigHouse! To be honest, we're so used to the design now it doesn't seem that unusual to us.

Brickies arrived on site today! Two Irish dudes, possibly father and son? Being St Pat's day, they said they might take off early

Frames arrived just as I was leaving.

Whoo hoo, looking forward to lots of brick wall pics by the end of the week!!! :z:

Me too! But he also warned that they might need to take a couple of days off in the middle to do another job. Whatever. He seemed confident that they could get it done in 2 weeks.

Great news!! Can't wait to see the progress.

On the Tapatalk thing I tend to go to the "Participated" or "subscribed" tabs. They only list the threads you have commented on so it's easier to find your own.

Nice ... now feed us pics!..

trixee · Mar 17, 2015 2:32 pm

Thanks Nikkis

Deluded, I'm just about to head off for lunch and take some more pics, stay tuned!

Possibly more like 'to get over their St Patrick's Day hangover' :-&

Trixee place is starting to come along nicely. Really looking forward to seeing your brickwork sprout out of the ground.

ardie514 · Mar 17, 2015 6:45 pm

Yay for brickies! I sure hope they can do it in 2 weeks. That would be excellent

They're doing the external wall first. Trusses or something holding the wall up:

The front left corner of the house (guest bedroom), this is where they got the most done:

Guest bedroom on the right, and portico where there will be decking or something:

This is where the portico (on the left) wraps around to the garage, they obviously decided they'd had enough for the day.

On the left side of the house, this is where they decided to stop - just after the master bedroom:

They've also finally made a start on the side fence:
