Gooping and a Kitchen

The Kitchen is in but all the windows are gooped and we are locked out so the only picture we have is through the only ungooped window! The house is looking great and really taking shape now. The front facade is on its way but it looks like someone has reversed their car into one of the pillars in the front of the house taking out a sizeable chunk of brick - nice of them hey?

It's a House!

Still not at lock up yet, but so exciting to see it taking shape - it's a real house now!

Week 11

Tuesday will mark the start of the 12th week of construction on our house.. hopefully it will also mean we arrive at lockup!

We should have been at lockup by this weekend.. unfortunately we had rain and thunderstorms everyday last week which slowed things down a little - but they are still confident that we will be in before Christmas! Luckily - for our builder anyway!- we decided to get them to do our driveway as well which gave them the opportunity to add another week to our contract period.

Anyhoo the brickwork is about 2/3rds done now. I wasn't sure how the double height bricks would look. Traditionally I haven't been a fan of them, but they looked good with the flush offwhite mortar at the CSR brick display (albeit on a very small section of wall) so I thought id giv ethem a try. They look pretty swell to me - especilly with the white windows that Michelle choose :)

Windows and Doors

Hello chums!

We had a meeting onsite with our supervisor this morning to ask a few questions. The roofing guys were also there pointing the tiles which are looking swell!

Apparently we should be locked out of the house by next weekend with all the brick work and plasterboard having been done - fingers crossed!
