Updated Bricking Pics....

Sorry, that was a trick. There aren't any at the moment! As in, I left my phone at my mum's place which has current photos on it. So tomorrow! But rest assured, the bricks look BRILLIANT! The brickies have finised down to the alfresco area, with just the wrap around the dining room and the front to go. Luckily for us we had excellent weather last week so they were able to work solidly for most of the week, which was great. Today Bikeman and I played site cleaner. We dug into the pile of rubbish and cleared out all the tin from the other stuff, and took a load to the transfer station (these are free - learn something every day!). We also took most of the rubbish as well, it took ages to bag it up but it is so worth it in the end, the site looks much cleaner. And it was sooooo windy today - best to get rid of all that rubbish before it all blew around all over the place. It was raining a lot too, so by the time we finished we were muddy and wet and altogether homeless-looking, but it was actually fun (I think I'm going slightly mad!!). We are nearly at lockup - have decided to board up the front area where the door will go, as we still have some prep work to do before the front door is ready, and we don't want it stolen/damaged either. Also Bikeman and Beam Me Up (the chippy) have some work to do creating a frame for the triangle above the front door so we can order the glass for that too. Other than that, (and of course the bricking being finished!) we just have to install the garage side door and the laundry door and we're at lockup! So a couple of weeks, methinks. Woohoo! Sparky is in next week to rough in, so we've been looking at the electrical plan and making sure we have enough power points etc. Fun fun fun! Oh and we've pretty much decided on colours - will upload in another post. Kitchen colours that is, then the rest of the house follows from there. Stay tuned, photos to follow in next couple of days....
