They finished last Thursday, which was 9 working days since they started. Amazing how quickly it happened! Hubby went and had a look over the weekend and says it looks great, but didn't take any photos! Not happy!! So i am dying to get out there and have a good look around, i'll post some pics once i've been! 9 days, wow! That's encouraging. I cant wait for the bricks to go up so I can get a real idea of the layout/size. It looks soooo small as a slab! Re: Celebration Homes - Brookleigh Estate - BRICKS FINISHED! 73Jul 24, 2014 10:26 am Yeah I've been a bit miserable about it but it is what it is… they've said that hopefully they will be able to start 8th August (weather permitting…) I was really hopeful that we would be in by christmas but its looking so unlikely… Now that you have bricks, how do you like the feel of your future home? It must be very exciting to actually be able to walk around it! Re: Celebration Homes - Brookleigh Estate - BRICKS FINISHED! 74Jul 24, 2014 11:50 am wow 9 days in winter too Re: Celebration Homes - Brookleigh Estate - ROOF STARTED! 75Jul 26, 2014 3:29 pm Finally made it out to the house today to check out the finished brick work, and to our surprise they have started the roof! It's looking awesome, happy with everything so far, especially how fast they are going!! Some of the rooms look really small, but then others look huge! The games room looks massive, the kids are going to be pretty happy! Here's some pics...

It must be very exciting to actually be able to walk around it! We are building in Lakelands, our slab went down on the 17th July (a week later than we were told). I actually contacted them last week, as i had seen people on their Facebook page saying they had been waiting 6-8 weeks for bricklayers, and I was told outright that I wouldn’t have a delay getting a bricky!!!! Hmmmmm, doubting that now! Think I’ll be sending another wee message enquiring when we are likely to be starting! Do they think people don’t talk to each other!!!!???? As a matter of interest, who is your CC?

As a matter of interest, who is your CC? I would definitely talk to them, its not fair not knowing all the details, I mean after all you are paying them (well the bank is) to build a house! I emailed them today to find out if I'm still getting a bricklayer friday 8th August and was told its now looking like 11th August. Fingers crossed its not pushed back anymore... Re: Celebration Homes - Brookleigh Estate - ROOF STARTED! 79Aug 02, 2014 10:10 pm Did a trip out to the house today and it's looking so good! The roof is 99% done, just one more tiny section of colourbond left to do! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It's amazing how much bigger it feels in the house now that the roof is on!
