And now the slow progress of bricking

I am ready to move, really I am! When I started this notion I was given a finish date of "August-ish". I understood that August couldn't happen when the Govt didn't release the land, but now the house that is down the road is having its gutters and fascias added and i don't even have full walls yet. Well I have one...

And they are working on the others.

I am filling my evenings now watching renovation programs. Thinking about gardens now that all my shopping for house bits is just about done. And they say that lock-up is short of halfway. Which means it will be a while yet before I am moving anywhere.

Bricks by Night

Every night I drive home via the house. The nights are getting shorter and so have my working days since changing jobs, so tonight it was possible to snatch a blury picture of what happened today...

 Bricks!

Progress Report in Pictures

Here are a few photos of the progress so far. Pretty much as I reported in the last post

 Looking from the North West. It looks bigger than it will be. Note the mess on the next door neighbors block. Hope my folk didn't do that!

The bricks are sitting on the mound that eventually will be the patio. There will be a pergola over the top of it. I am not really sure what is going to retain the dirt. The builder said he would put in footings. I hope that means bricks and not just the cement outline that is currently there.

 These are bricks. That much is obvious! The colour is called Urban Mist. The pink is the part that is not so much seen and the white is the outside part.

And from the front. Now sign of the garage which will be all brick and no timber framework. The Zafira and Erin pose for photos
