Fascia, Gutter, Roof Tiles, and Rendering

We have finally got though the bricking on 14/9 after 5 weeks and things are starting to move along nicely again! It is obvious that brickies are in short supply and a major speed inhibitor when spread across many jobs.

Since the bricking finished we have had gutters and fascias installed, the top roof tiles laid, and the front balcony pillars/piers rendered today.

We are very happy with how everything is looking and the Barramundi Monier Horizon tiles with A-line ridging look superb! The rendering guys have done a great job and seem like a genuine & hard working team!

Next I guess we will see the internal electrical start to get roughed in, upper bricks cleaned, and the lower roof get installed once the scaffolding goes.


Fascia & Guttering done 17/9
Top Roof tiles complete 24/9



Front rendering complete 28/9

Brickwork Laid

The Brickwork commenced on Wednesday 12/8 - Sand and Cement was delivered and around 7 brickies started.
Since then we have had mostly 3/4 people onsite at any time with many days/weeks where they were at other worksites. 

The scaffolding went up in one day on 31/8 during a 2.5 week relocation to other jobs for the brickies.

The ground level bricks were completed on 7/9.

The 11/9 was the end of the 20th week of the 40 week contract period and although our SS says they are looking to accelerate, I am concerned with our progress given the trades are juggling many jobs.

We have been told the bricking would be finished by 11/9, Scaffold lifted for Fascia 16/9, Fascia 17/9, and Top roof tiles starting 18/9

We are loving the look of the bricks on the house! We just wish things were quicker!
