its been a slow week.............

Well not alot happened this week as you can see in pics, was hoping for more to happen as the wheather has been good.

Spoke to our s/s on monday and he confirmed that we did not need the sarking under roof tiles as was told the pitch of roof did not need sarking.

Also spoke to our b/cord as we have a issue with our laundry cupboards not matching up with what we asked for at our pre drawings, and now we can't have what we originally wanted so was told she would get back to us by friday past but have not heard anything so will have to chase that one up on monday........ or maybe i should wait for the weekly update phone call that dosn't really come!

This week the plumbing got done on monday and the land around the house all cleaned and crushed rock being laid due to the amount of mud.
Rear glass fitted into family room window.
Bricks delievered to start hebel but no hebal delivered so hopefully we will see some progress this week as the other houses being built by porter davis in our area are progressing alot faster than ours!

Lets hope with the fine wheather that is forecast for this week there will be alot more progress for us to report on next week..................till then.

Frame complete, roof has gone on..........................

Seen alot happen this week, framing complete considering the wheather has not been to good.

Windows have been installed, and roof tiles have been laid, with alittle disappointment that the roof has not been sharked. will ring our s/s tomorrow and ask why it hasnt been done. Hopefully he can do something about it and rectify the issue.

The timber windows look great and are very happy with what we chose. It seems such a long time ago since we chose all our fittings that you begin to doubt  what was choosen until you see them installed.

Roof tiles also look good after we were told that our orginal choice was unavaiable and had to choose another roof tile color.

Here are a few photos.........

The frame is going up..................

Well its taken three weeks to get this far with the frame.

The wheather has not been to kind for us. its meant to be finished by the 2nd of may but as u can see its going slow...........and check out the pool of water we have in the kicthen and theres mud everywhere but hopefully it will get cleaned up once the roof is on.

Windows have been there for a coulpe of weeks also, so hopefully there not getting damaged with the rain. Spoke to carpenter and said they should be in on tuesday.

We have finally started...................

Its been a while since my last post but i guess nothing has really has happened!.

After delays with our site start, due to sytems upgrade at PD we have finally seen something happening,
no more a vacant block of land.

Got a call from our building co/ord on friday saying that we will be getting another building co/ord as she is moving to another department which is a shame because we had a good relationship, so now we will have to get to know our new building co/ord and hope this does not delay us anymore!

Meeting our site supervisor sometime this week and seems like a really nice guy over the phone  and has jobs booked in.

So lets hope its all go now...............

This is what we are hoping our home will look like....................
