Back in Business

Okay, I've been slack of late! I haven't been keeping the blog going as well as I would like, however work has simply been getting in the way of leisure time! Speaking of 'leisure' as you will see in the photos below, our bricks (which happen to be called 'Leisure') have arrived and like so many other things to do with this house, there are so many of them!

Since the last post, we have had the house wrap (Blue Paper) put on, we have had the plaster board arrive and be attached (cornices tomorrow I believe). We have also had our French Doors removed and the concrete cut to allow for the rebate into the slab so the doors are flush with the floor and the door refitted. The solar panels have been placed and the solar hot water panels were also placed.

From my understanding, two carpenters arrive tomorrow (one inside, one out) to work on cabinetry and the 3/4 verandah around the front. The board for raised timber platform in the media room is here as is (what I believe is) the timber to start the verandah.

The bricks as you can see have also arrived. The colour looks great and the light fleck in the bricks works well with the roof - which is something we have been worried about with the roof since it has been finished. As you'll see in the photos, 1 pallet of bricks made it down beside the house, the others are all stacked high. A bobcat is coming in on Friday to cart them down - apparently the driveway is continuing cause havoc for all that dare to descend! The first load made it down fine, however the 'tractor' could get back up the hill and required a tow.
