Re: Hawkesbury custom build- roof done 74Dec 06, 2015 9:37 pm Yes- bricks are finished and were cleaned on Friday.

Scaffolding came down today so I could get a good look at the facade. The render is yet to be painted and where the red brick is will be stackstone. I'm not sold on stackstone- I would have preferred travertine - but hubby wanted stackstone so it was one of the compromises I made. He got some things his way and I got some my way. Luckily, we mostly have the same taste so didn't need to make too many compromises:) Have been given schedule of works from here on and looks like it should fly along. Plumbing and electrical rough ins start tomorrow and gyprock on Thursday. I had to go to tile shop today as they called and said the main tile we had selected for floors was unavailable. Selected another one that was quite similar- decided not to let this 'small' stuff bother me. After waiting 2 years for it all to happen I'm not going to fuss if the tile is a shade different- I just want to get in so didn't want anything to delay. Fingers crossed things go to plan. 11/11/13- dep paid 4/4/14- settlement Feb '15- DA app 6/8/15- CC site works begin 19/8/15- Formwork 25/8/15- slab 3/9/15- elect. appt 13/10/15 - frame started 19/10- bricks started 31/10 - roof done Re: Hawkesbury custom build- bricks finished 76Jan 18, 2016 9:14 pm You have progresses really well. I am still waiting on scaffold to go up. Had the first lever of bricks done just before the break. Unfortunately the frames and floor has been exposed to the rain we had over the break. I hope they are not damaged. 18/03/15 Deposit 02/09/15 CDC 22/09/15 Slab 05/12/15 Frames 15/12/15 Brick started. 11/04/16 Roof start 04/05/16 Roof finish 09/07/16 Gyprock. Re: Hawkesbury custom build- internal works starting 79Mar 04, 2016 2:51 am Time for an update... Getting very excited (hence why I'm on forum at 3.30am!)- we have tiling completed throughout, kitchen iis in and driveway being done today. We are expecting to get keys next Friday!! Fireplace and glass balustrades also go in today- carpet early next week. Today is my last day at work before commencing long service leave for the move:) 11/11/13- dep paid 4/4/14- settlement Feb '15- DA app 6/8/15- CC site works begin 19/8/15- Formwork 25/8/15- slab 3/9/15- elect. appt 13/10/15 - frame started 19/10- bricks started 31/10 - roof done Re: Hawkesbury custom build- internal works starting 80Mar 04, 2016 4:12 pm No wander you're excited! Congrats on making it to the end and nearing completion. I know even though your build time has been quick it's has been a long time coming for you. Hope you put some photos up later of the finished product. Look forward to it. Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=75302 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 35089 6 57368 Soak wells and electrical run in happening this week! Summit has told me they will relocate the laundry plumbing after the walls are completed. I'm actually pretty happy… 13 36877 |
