I hope things picks up for you. Saw the brick pictures and agree they do look they are not mixed up well. But they will look different when they are washed up.

Saw the brick pictures and agree they do look they are not mixed up well. But they will look different when they are washed up. We are also building in Sydney and I always laugh at myself on how many times in a day i check weather app. My site did not have any progress just because the day our concrete prep work was scheduled it rained and concreters pushed our dates for slab as they have to be others to do their first.

Well if they like to work in the rain then lets hope for more rain Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78449 Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Roof 620Sep 09, 2015 10:36 pm I am wondering if we should pay the $1,500 variation fee and get three coats of paint as I think the third coat will be much more expensive post handover. Is it worth it? Or is two coats sufficient for now?
