Thank you Steve and team, you certainly made a common orange brick look amazing lol, it's a shame we are rendering them. A stand out performance well done.

Another brick in the wall
Day 2 of brick laying, it's a race to the finish line lol. We knew this was going to be a big job for the brickies and boy they have been excellent. We had the best team of brickies with Steve leading the way, and due to his perfectionism (couldn't ask for better) the job was done in a matter of 10 working days with 1 Saturday to do the front pillars. They finished the job on the 3rd September

Bricks & Plumbing
With all the frames complete now, today saw the delivery of the bricks and all the plumbing rough-in was done. Bradnams also installed our bi-fold doors (I've been waiting soooooo long to see these) to see the meals/family rooms and boy, they didn't disappoint!

Frame complete
We finally have all the frames completed and it looks awesome. All the coffered ceilings are done along with the drop down ceiling in the kitchen. All the bulkheads are done as well as the bath frames. We know how hard these guys have worked and trust me, with the system like ours, they need a medal. Because we are having roof tiles instead of colourbond, our frame had to be strengthened in order to bare the weight of the tiles. Usually if you are having tiles, you have a timber frame but we paid extra to have the strength of steel hence the longer build time.

The roof
They installed the roof trusses this morning and boy was it great to watch...what a great job. Now it's looking like a real house and not a leggo system

Scaffolding
Some scaffolding was set up out the front today, I'm guessing it's to make it easier for the guys to put the trusses on the pavilion and for when the tiles go on the roof...maybe!!

Truss me!
They put some roof trusses on the alfresco and garage and stood some more walls up. We got to meet our SS this afternoon and boy is he a nice man.
We went through the house to make sure we were happy with it (of course we were) and he told us that everything was going well with the build and because it was a big home, it was going to take longer than most other builds.
As long as we're in by xmas, I'll be a happy camper!
