Page 4 of 7
Drove past today quickly and the block was a hive of action. Several tradies on site and a big truck delivering the sand pile for brickies which was blocking my view of exactly what was happening. I was in a bit of a hurry so didn't stop to talk. Exciting seeing things happening on the weekend. Perhaps they're aware like i am of this opportunity of nice weather before the rain later next week..

All ready to go!

All ready to go!


Wow, looks organised for lots to happen tomorrow

By the time i get to the house after work it's dark these days. Pleased to see a bit of the wall done.


Looks like they've been busy today. Love the dark brick

Bit more happening today inside and out. Bricklayers said as the was only two of them it might take a couple of weeks to complete. Funny color bricks at the front is because we're having that part rendered anyway.


Yeah, we've been told 1 1/2 weeks to get bricks up. And doesn't help that Monday is a public holiday. But once those bricks are up, you are so far ahead on the inside

We've talked briefly to the existing house neighbours in the street and talked a bit on the phone to building neighbour.

Wow that’s come along quick, looking good 👍
Looks like neighbour's about to get slabbed....


Wow lots happened today. Neighbour got slabbed and cabinets were delivered. Previously they said 6 weeks till handover when cabinetry goes in so getting real close now. Seeing cabinet color confirmed our choice selections. Love it!


How exciting to see the cabinets.

That’s so exciting!! Can’t wait to see it in 😊
Bit more progress today. Starting to look like a kitchen and bathroom..


Gorgeous. Love the dark colour

Well we're now locked out and can only peer through windows for photos. Looking good though. Love our kitchen.
