Week 17...

It's been a full on week this week. Multiple tradies on site each day, some days up to nearly 20!!! Not that I am complaining in the slightest. The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned. Brick layers, plumbers, electricians, builders etc. Not to mention all the deliveries, plaster arrived and so did the insulation, another load of sand and cement for the brickies, more electrical and plumbing supplies and the list goes on.

'Day 1 of bricks'

A big day for deliveries too - cement, plaster and insulation.

As they say "many hands makes light work", especially when it comes to brick laying it appears.

'Day 2 of bricks'

By 'Day 4 of bricks' they were pretty much done. *The unfinished section at the front is going to be boards.  

Finally I got my husband to agree on some tiles for the kitchen splashback on our trip up the coast. They are a little bigger than the ones that I had originally picked so this eases his fierce hatred of 'sh***y little tiles that look like they're from a bad 80's pub room'.

The inside starting to take shape with the insulation going in (and sound proofing insulation for the pool room).

'Day 5 of bricks' was the last day. All finished including the wall in the outdoor area to protect us from the sou-westerly winds that come down the gully.

120 days into our build and lock-up is just around the corner. Just waiting on the boards on the front of the house, the front door and the 2nd stacker door to be installed and we will have reached the milestone.

Next week will bring the measure up for the cabinetry, the rest of the insulation and hopefully the plaster :)
