Garage taking shape :)

A little more bricks here and there and our garage is taking shape. Yay!!

Our garage, wished we had a bigger block for a wider garage :(

Portico bricked!

Our ground floor is nearly completed.

Rubbish/broken bricks/tiles etc was being removed *^_^*

Bricks!!!

After more than a week away, we have bricks, solar panel on, and our heating/cooling unit is installed. Just need to arrange the re-inspection for frame stage before lock up stage is completed.

Ground floor bricks should be completed by this week.

It is so good to be home after being stranded in New Zealand due to the ash clouds. Home sweet home :)

Frame stage inspection done and roof is on

We meet up with our SS on Monday to go through the house, he pointed out that we have a overhang problem on the garage/laundry wall side which he will get the engineers to look at and rectify. Rob from New Home Inspection did our frame stage inspection and there were only 7 items which needed to be rectified. I have emailed our SS the inspection report and called him to let him know that I have sent it and ask if he can provide in writing how those items will be rectified and to arrange a date for re-inspection. 

We will be going to New Zealand for a week so went to our site to take some photo's of latest stage. ROOF!

Sun shining on our house :)

Under the roof :) , didn't see any cracks or broken tiles so that's  a good sign.

Windows on ground floor

We visited the site on Friday afternoon and the windows were on, frame stage should have been completed on Friday and we have a site meeting with our SS on Monday. Also received the invoice by email from the accounts department on the same day!. Boy they are quick in sending invoices...been waiting for the revised final working drawings for a month and still haven't received it yet!.

We will probably drop by again before Monday and take some photo's of the 1st floor windows.

Roof trusses are here!

It seems that our SS is very organised, once the slab was poured the frames arrived, 1 day before the 1st floor is completed the roof trusses arrived, everything seems to be arriving on time! There is no time wasting.

The guys are hard at work. This was taken around lunch time 1pm.

I wished our house was higher!!! We had to cut 100mm  to avoid dispensation. :(

Windows and sliding doors are on site.

Drove to our site today and found our windows and sliding doors on site ready to be fitted. Our SS said that the windows should be fitted next week so hopefully it doesn't get damaged before then.

Our White windows.

Our White terrace sliding doors? These look like it will be damaged since the cover has been taken off and the 1st floor still has not been constructed yet.

Our ground floor is taking shape.
