Week 7

Took a drive on Monday with Jade just to get her hours up and of course we went past the block. Hoping she will have her P's before we move so she can get around. Anyway the gutters are all installed and the roofing has been delivered.

Week 6

It has taken a lot but we did not go to the block much this week. Darren has been sick so we spent a couple of days not doing much, went to the movies and then on Thursday we started cleaning and have been busy fixing stuff at home and cleaning ready to put the house on the block. Did manage a drive by about lunch time today just in time to see that the brickwork has been completed. The brickies were just packing up, having a quick bite to eat first by the look of it.

I am really happy with the bricks so far, hopefully that will still be the case once they clean them off. This is the most exciting part of the whole build, something new to look at on every drive by - Kyle still has not seen the block or the house, he has decided to wait for the completed build and be surprised. I guess he is old enough to move out if he doesn't like it anyway.

Week 5

12.8.2012 I thought with the gale force winds today we were going to loose the frame but lucky for me they managed to finish off completely before the wind storm started. Stupid me didn't even think to take a photo I was so excited.

Bricks arrived onsite on Tuesday and the poor laborer spent wednesday moving it round and getting ready for the brick layer who is coming on Thursday.

Week 4

5.8.2013 So the frame is being shored up and all the roof trusses have been put together and leaned against the fences, no work that could be seen on Tuesday and on Wednesday morning a big ass crane was onsite lifting the roof trusses into place. Not sure how I thought they would get up there, I am almost ashamed to say they must magically be held up by the builders. Windows have also been delivered and are laying around waiting to be installed.
