Not sure why they haven't finished the garage wall, possibly because there was only two guys today and the guys away may do that section better?? Cant wait to see it finished and cleaned. when they are finished when do they clean it? Do they leave it for awhile or wash it once its dry?

Bricks to be finalised by this Friday according to brick layer 'they have to be done' ( he is behind on his jobs) unfortunately set to rain tomorrow. Wall insulation going in Thursday/Friday then plaster to go in next week (Tuesday??). Re: Our new home 245Sep 19, 2017 9:58 pm The bricks are Boral Heathwood. Really happy with the colour! Re: Our new home-Bricks continue 246Sep 19, 2017 10:27 pm Had a visit with the site supervisor this afternoon.

Moved a few power points around, added an extra into the laundry and got a few points recessed into the wall for the tvs. Organised an isolation switch for the projector. Confirmed an extra ducted heating point was being added. Advised we were changing a light from a batton light to a downlight in the living area.

I laughed when he mentioned this as he was saying most people are asking at this point, I said well thats what I was just thinking! Anyway, ducted heating and cooling should be installed Friday, insultation will be put in soon after that. Tuesday should see the arrival of plaster and will be installed Wednesday. The kitchen is currently being built so believe that will be coming soon(?) after the plasters finished!! Re: Our new home 247Sep 19, 2017 10:32 pm Cant wait to see those bricks cleaned up They look a bit like the bricks Ive chosen for my build so I can imagine what mine will look like now Re: Our new home 248Sep 20, 2017 11:07 pm It does make a difference to be able to visualise your bricks- helps to put your doubts away! We cant wait for the front to start as well as to be finished and cleaned!

Delivered last night and put up into the roof this morning. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ And the wall batts in! Now some of the rooms look like actual rooms! The theatre room- this window is meant to be double glazed and is waiting for its replacement, The side to the right isn't insulated, but we are thinking of buying some batts to put in before the plaster as this is a bedroom wall and want to remove a bit of noise.

The front still hasn't started! So they must be super busy tomorrow as they said they would be finished tomorrow. Front and pillars, the remaining side and then finish the windows to go. Don't know if anything went on inside today didn't worry about looking too much. Heating and cooling going in tomorrow. Does anyone notice the extra white grout next to the window, is that going to wash off!!??? Re: Our new home 251Sep 21, 2017 10:54 pm we had weird colored grout everywhere till it was washed, if it smears a bit then it just looked so much more noticable, but afte the wash vanished hoping yours the same.

If I go onsite tomorrow (highly likely) I might take a closer look. Its been a busy day onsite today! 10 guys at one point! Bricks are almost finished! Like I thought, they didn't get them completed today! so Monday it is. Hopefully someone could come tomorrow? There really isn't THAT much to do now, other than the clean. Heating and cooling guys were there today. I didn't notice if anything was on the roof, but there was a unit in the ceiling, ducts had gone in, the return air vent in the ceiling was in place. The electrician was back onsite moving and adding a few points the we added and changed. Two carpenters were back onsite putting in our noggins. Cement sheeting arrived today also- thinking thats for the wet areas.

Re: Our new home 254Sep 22, 2017 9:25 pm You're making great progress! I look forward to seeing your bricks clean.

We didn't select a colour for the meter box! I did go back and have a look at the colour selection list and nope nothing there.. I don't care that much its not like its red or green! If they don't paint it we can always do it.. Our front do and garage will be surf mist! But I'd rather it was the monument to match gutters?? emts yeah ours is same cream colour and getting painted to match our front door/garage door, check though your colours appointment and sure it's in thee somewhere Re: Our new homein love with my bricks 258Sep 24, 2017 5:13 pm So we went onsite today and did some of our own work. We put insulation into the theatre room walls- between hallway wall and between bedroom 2, WIP. It's only r2.0 so will make a little difference but that much. Didn't bother with sound proofing. Also put some between the toilet and bedroom two, hopefully that will cut it out a little too although hubby did say the noise would travel. Hubby bought all the things he needed a pair of gloves etc and I used a plastic bag to help as my glove hahaha, I didnt do much. Also we run a cable for our projector in the theatre room so that the screen opens and shuts at the press of the button. took some photos on the DSLR of the work we done and also of the extra power point we got in. nothing on the phone otherwise I would upload it here. Does anyone else take photos of every single thing? I took a photo of the toilet roof today- for future reference haha if I eventually put a skylight in there. I also had another look at our bricks today , really like them. Looking back the other day on where we were last year and the things we would have gotten, i'm so happy where we are today and I really think I wouldn't have liked the old bricks/colours when I now have this haha.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Turns out the side isn't complete yet! Looks like they have forgot to put a lintel (metal strip above the window) above the ensuite window and then have done an extra layer. It was like this on Friday (looking back on the photos) and is still like this today Im sure it will be fixable if they have to remove a brick or two, wish it was just done already though but at least we don't have to pay for lock out stage yet, so atleast one good thing to come from the error. Can you see what I mean about the bricks... grey and brown. "Losers" "humanity" "off time" "your" "top notch" "love symbol" Sounds like ponzo is done using other people's toilets 36 23887 Is it just a report written to give to the bank initially and it is based on what and how your payments are made up for, or is it a full service where they go out and… 2 5599 Skjm You might want to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKx-bsOr2jg If that link doesn't work go to youtube and search for Zac Homes ACA I am really… 1 4019 |
