It's been two weeks since I have visiting the block.

Bit of a difference! I saw our bricking being finished off!

I can't wait to see the weatherboard and roof on :) a few more weeks time I guess.

Here are some pics of the bricks. Remember we are rendering after handover, so it's not going to really look much like what the final result will be.

We let ourselves onto our block this morning. The kids were pretty excited to see it all starting to take shape. Seeing their rooms, signing the frames and going a bit (or a lot) crazy with the sharpies. Not sure what the builders are going to think come Monday, lol.
Here is an overload of photos documenting the chaos…

Frame is getting there!

I went for a drive today to check out our lovely blue frames that are nearly finished.
Luckily our SS was on-site and he showed me around. He's very nice :)
There were a few things I didn't expect to see.

1. The window in the Home Theatre room is lower than I expected. He checked the measurements and they are correct. I guess it looks fine, it just wasn't what I was imagining.

2. They are putting a bulkhead in the TV alcove space for the a/c unit to sit on! I didn't know that was happening. Not only will the a/c now be sitting out on a bulkhead but the bulkhead comes down so low it is ridiculous. Our SS thinks it might be an error, that they have gone off the plans for a standard ceiling height and not a 2.7m ceiling? He said he will raise the the bulkhead so it's in-line with the tops of the window frames. I'm still not liking that it has to be there at all, but apparently it does, because there are no eaves in that spot on the roof :(

Other than that, everything else looks good in the quick squiz I had. I just can't wait till it looks more like a house… and then I won't be able to wait till it looks more like a home!

Here is the window position in the Home Theatre room. I wish it was a bit higher!

Here is where the frame is coming down too low for the bulkhead in the TV cove.

I hope it's not going to be a problem to raise it!
