It's a wrap

You guessed it, the weather wrap has been applied to the house. It doesn't feel like a lot has happened since my last post, but at least we're still moving along.



Excuse the pile of rubbish - not sure if this is normal but apparently it's too far to walk to the rubbish cage.

Our front door

Here's what has happened:
* All the roof trusses are up,
* Fascia and guttering have been installed,
* Safety railing for the roofing has been installed,
* Weather wrap has been applied,
* Plumbers have started,
* Bricks and sand have been delivered,
* We received our Frame Stage invoice (thanks to the Reserve Bank for not lifting interest rates this month, much appreciated!)

Brickies sand all ready to go


According to My Metricon, the roof was due to be completed yesterday. That hasn't happened, however the colorbond and whirly bird have been delivered.

Can you see the rusting steel and all the water just sitting around the house, rather than draining away from the house?

The brickwork is due to be finished on the 15th. Not sure if we'll hit that timeframe either. There are still some issues with the slab that need fixing before the bricking can be completed. Out Site Supervisor (SS) is aware of them, but there doesn't seem to be any degree of urgency in fixing them even though some of the problems seem quite significant to us i.e the exposed, and now beginning to rust, steel reinforcement in the slab.

Bricking will hopefully start tomorrow - fingers crossed.
