Fascia and gutter onsite, to be installed tuesday then roof. Tuesday is meant to be wet wet wet so may get delayed a day. It rained yesterday too actually and the clay soil is a mess!

So they won't be doing anything today or Friday? Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 69Apr 27, 2019 11:13 am Roof and insulation delivered to site now, ready for next week-I had a dream the roof they put on was custard yellow, however I'm pleased to report monument has been delivered to site Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 70Apr 27, 2019 1:37 pm Yeah! I've had that many dreams about weird things happening on the house. Happy to say for instance they didn't end up fitting the plaster to the outside and bricks to the inside Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 72Apr 29, 2019 4:43 pm Woooo! 1st build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=59376 *New*-2nd build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70324&p=1154282#p1154282 Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 74May 02, 2019 6:31 pm So, our timber front door has started to grow mould on it in a matter of days - given it wasnt stored in a dry area, per the manufacturer-should we be demanding a new one?

The neighbours might love us even more too lol... Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 77May 05, 2019 7:22 pm Builder was onsite today, will be back tomorrow. Hes fitted most of the windows, but two of them are wrong (ensuite and 1x front bedroom). Hopefully he will fit CSD etc tomorrow. Today I started to mow the lawn. Definitely not complaining about that view - however we definitely need to invest in a ride on sometime soon.

Will get some more pics tomorrow Re: Custom build on acerage in Ipswich QLD 80May 19, 2019 11:01 am Builders onsite today, finishing the frame hopefully. External walls are insulated. Neighbours making a pig of himself again which is unfortunate. Apparently its 'Un-Australian of us to build so close', as he recorded himself speaking into his dictaphone this morning. He was taking photos of the builders today too. Such a delight...
