Roof completed

After a rain interrupted week, the roofers finally completed the roof.  The colour is great and goes well with the brick colour.  SS advised the alarm wiring and electricals will be started on Monday.  Hopefully things will now start moving as the weather will not hold up things.

Bricks completed & gutter & fascia

The bricklayer finished on Tuesday and the bricks look very nice.  The gutter and fascia went on Wednesday and the roofers started on Friday.

Brickwork started

Building is really moving - our bricks arrived on Friday and the plumbing was done on Saturday.  The Chatswood sandstocks are really beautiful and we are happy we paid the extra cost - nearly $5000.
The brickies were rained out on Tuesday so only started laying yesterday.  They are doing a very nice job  and we are very happy.  Now we just have to hope we get some fine weather for the next 2 weeks.

Windows and doors installed

The frame is now almost complete with the roof trusses finished.  The windows and sliding doors are all in and you can now see what kind of view we will have from the family/living area over the golf course.  Our master bedroom and ensuite also have views down the fairways.

Frame started

We arrived at the block on Tuesday and nearly all the frame was standing. We met Bob the builder  who showed us around. It is great to have such an experienced team erecting the frame - true blue tradies.  As we have already built 3 homes, it was great seeing the quick progress with the steel frame. The builder loves working with steel too. 

Today they have started building the roof on the ground which will be then be lifted by crane.  We hope it will arrive on Friday.

Frame Delivered

We received a message at 1pm from Amanda.  Our frame had arrived.  Melissa had told us yesterday that the pest control was being done.  We arrived after work and the frame was stacked on the slab and in the front - there is a lot of steel.  The framers had already marked out the position of the walls so are ready to start.

Stormwater and sewer connected

Our plumbers arrived at 7.30am to dig the trenches for the stormwater and sewer pipes.  They also ran pipes for the water and recycled water from the boundary to the slab. Great weather for building!
