Plastered

Day 76. Our dodgy bricks were pulled down today - I don't have photos of that yet and I'm not sure I really want to see it. It was necessary but it still feels as though we're going backwards instead of forwards.

In the picture above you can see the amount of variation in the brick. It's not Metricon's fault, we just got a bad batch. Austral tried to get the brickies to toss out the really dark ones, but with the bricks being wet it's incredibly difficult to tell which were too dark. Our SS did mention that we could let the bricking continue and then have the house rendered at the end, but we really preferred the bricks.

On a happier note - the plaster is just about complete. It's all up and the cornices were all cut today and should be put up tomorrow.




Our SS also mentioned that the kitchen floor will levelled this week, ready for tiling to start. Not sure when that is due but hopefully not for a few weeks yet. According to the engineers our slab needs to sit for at least three months before tiling commences.
