In the last three weeks the following has been done:-
- Roof Frame Erected (2nd Prog. Payment - 17/7)
- Site inspection with SS (21/7)
- Windows delivered (22/7)
- Windows and door frames installed (27/7)
- Internal water pipes and drainage completed (27/7)
- Bricks delivered (30/7)
The site inspection with the SS was exciting - the first time we would see and walk through the ground floor and get a feel for our house layout.
The only issue we noticed onsite was a downpipe drain right outside the laundry door that will require moving. I believe some sort of inspection has taken place since and the carpenters had a short list of minor frame modifications to do.
Currently we are in a two week holding pattern for the brickies to start which we have been told will be around this time next week. Hopefully the weather holds out as we have been experiencing nice dry weather.
Here is the picture diary...
