Brickwork almost done

Lots of activity on site this week. The upstairs windows are all in, and the brickwork is almost complete. 

CM emailed to say that they have appointed a new SS so we're looking forward to meeting him in the next couple of weeks.

Plan for the next fortnight is the plumbing rough in, then eaves and internal work. There's even the promise that the dodgy brick at the front of the house, which we asked to be replaced a month ago, will finally go ...

D-day

Well today was marked as the day for the power to be cut so the side scaffolding can go up. We were a bit worried about interruption from the wet weather but looks like it all went well. The scaffolding is up and we can't wait to see the first floor walls and those downpipes! 

We have roof!

Roof tiles and gutters

Looks like, weather permitting, the remaining scaffolding may be erected next week. While we wait, it's been nice to see that things are still progressing. Our Monier roof tiles (Madison in Soho Night) have been delivered and the gutters around the garage and alfresco (Jasper colourbond) are up.

I spy something starting with "s"

A very wet start to Winter for Melbourne. What a shame the roof is not on yet. Nevertheless there has been some activity in the latter half of the week. Half the scaffolding has been assembled which hopefully means that we are not far off from having the power lines issue resolved. Just hope the wet weather doesn't cause any delays!
