Bricks, bricks and more bricks.....

Lots more progress this week...

Monday the plumber came in and installed the water and gas pipes to the whole house. We couldn't believe it was all done in 1 day. 

Tuesday the brickes (a team of them!) arrived bright and early and it looks like they didn't stop all week. It was very exciting every day to go and see what progress that had made. Here is the progress from 4 days...

We are loving our brick (PGH Vino) - or at least we will when it is all cleaned up - it is a painted brick so we were worried about chipping and the base colour coming through but at this stage it looks like it will be great

SS called (cannot believe he actually calls every week - where was all this communication during admin?) and the brickies will finish on site on Monday to make way for the scaffolding on tues/wed. Gutters are scheduled for Thur/Fri, roof tiles will start next week and then the brickies will come back and finish the second storey. Apparently they laid 5500 bricks this week with a further 4000 to go!

It is all coming together nicely:)
