A quick progress update.

Our roof tiles are going on and our bricks have been delivered, just waiting for the roofing to be finished and then the brickies will start.
We're a little unsure of how the colours are going to come together, we know they wont be offensive, but we may not 100% love them. Straight away we notice our roof looks very brown. We initially were going to go with a more greeny/grey/brown colour tile but when our brick choices got changed at the last minute, we kind of got swept along with all the other choices too. I will say though, driving down through the estate, so many of the roof colours are variations on the colour grey, so it is nice to see something different. Seriously though, how much time do you spend staring at your roof anyhow?
The bricks could absolutely be hit or miss. We'll just need to wait and see.
So the word on the street is...... lock up should be complete in 2 weeks and plastering should be starting in a month. We're still waiting on delivery of our bi-fold door and butlers pantry window (the gap was cut the wrong size and height in our frame, but has already been picked up by the site manager and will be fixed when the window arrives). Other than that we asked a few questions about the build and raised some issues we had, and were told, not surprisingly, not to worry none of it matters the house will still stand! No, there was nothing major we needed to address and our site manager said he will continue (I think he meant start) to call us once a week for updates.
No guesstimate on when the house will be finished- fair enough- but we wait with bated breath.

Oh and......rain rain go away come again another day....preferably when we're in lock-up.

  1. well this is coming along very fast isn't it. You must be very happy with this progress, we aren't far behind you so I'll be watching your blog to see what we should expect in the following week (and to make sure my builder isn't slacking off!), haha
