Day 99 - Garage wall complete 37Apr 27, 2010 2:09 pm Lovely choice of bricks, i wish we had of gone with the darker brick with the light mortar. Too late now, we are all bricked up Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our lovely bricks on our porch. We liked the little bluestone effect flicks through them, and no one else in the area seems to have the same. Just looking at your colours on your blog, very nice. We have chosen the same tiles as yours for our entry and kitchen / meals area. We have the same profile garage door, but in Dune. The interior walls are the same colour, and kitchen cupboards as well. You've got very good taste Dear J.K. Rowling, Your books are entirely unrealistic. I mean, a ginger kid with two friends? Sincerely, Anonymous Re: Building The Galleria 250. Day 117 - House walls complet 38May 08, 2010 2:03 pm Bricking is about 98% done with all the house walls completed including the alfresco columns. What is left are the window sills, some more bricking to the front porch, and the masonary blockwork column at the front of the house. It's nearly done. TLM - Great to hear that the bricks turn out how you wanted and thank you for the kind compliment on our colour selections, I hope the colours will turn out good. At the moment I notice there are some areas where the perpends are not aligned, the main ones are the alfresco area, so need to speak to my SS and hopefully he agrees to fix it.

Day 117 - House walls complet 39May 08, 2010 8:47 pm It looks fabulous Polo, Love the bricks with the light mortar. Our brickies did a wonderful job with the brickwork under the windows, it's so neat. We have just reached lock up stage, and now forced to peep through our own windows I spy with my little eye, a bath was delivered, and currently residing in our kitchen. Could be a blessing in disguise, i can boil vegetables and bathe at the same time One thing i wanted to ask, at what stage was your guttering and fascias painted? They still haven't painted ours Dear J.K. Rowling, Your books are entirely unrealistic. I mean, a ginger kid with two friends? Sincerely, Anonymous Re: Building The Galleria 250. Day 117 - House walls complet 40May 11, 2010 12:17 am Bricking is nearly completed with 80% of the brickwork done to the window sill and about 50% to the facade columns. If weather holds up for the next couple of days then the bricking should be fully finished. Hi TLM - We upgraded our fascia, gutters, and downpipe to colorbond so no need for painting. I'm not sure but I believe they paint it when the painters come in so probably towards the end of the build.
