Not quite locked out

I was surprised to see so little work completed on the house since last week. I expected to see the kitchen in, but it hasn't even been delivered. There is a pallet of tiles sitting in the meals area and lots of skirting piled around the house.

Most of the internal doors appear to be in place, including closet doors. Architraves are up and that's about it. I won't be going there in a hurry seeing as everything is slow at the moment. I will wait till the long Easter weekend for my next trip.


A little work done at the front of the house, No front door though!!




I have downpipes




The bathtub




The shower base




And my plain closet doors cos I refused to pay extra just to have grooves in it. Grooves only collect dust anyway.

Brickies got plastered

After speaking to my CSO who said that 90% of the plaster was done, I had to see it to believe it. Well what do you know, she wasn't kidding.


So we have the side of the house with the garage



The back of the house... not sure why there are no bricks above the sliding door... If anyone can enlighten me, that would be much appreciated...



The front of the house, no front door yet, but lots of crap everywhere.



Looking at the kitchen/meals area... Little man walking through... he was choosing the cupboards as his bedroom lol



This is part of the master bedroom, it's still looking small. Oh well.

Bricking

Whoo Hoo, they have started the bricking. After a week of inactivity due to stolen lintels I find that approx 50% of the bricks have been laid.

The front of the house... Actually think the colour turned out fine... until that hideous render is put on around the garage door... what was I thinking???


The back of the house


The side of the house, looks like they are ready to do the top half. Of course we are in the middle of a storm at the moment... Please sunny weather as of Monday... PLEASE!!!!


I have a frame for the bathtub and a shower base


Insulation is about 90% done... I felt like popping that chunk right back in it's place
