Pre-Wiring..

Yes, the bricks are finally complete and the electrician is in.. couldn't be happier! :)
After signing off on the addition of a few more lights, powerpoints and suprise features the electricial team got to work yesterday (and some more today) to do all the pre-wiring set-up.
Apparently he is booked to come back in about 6 weeks to do the finishing touches (powerpoints, light fittings and switches etc...) Sounds like a lot is going to happen in the next month!

Water, Gas & Bricking update

Last night I decided that we should really invest in a torch! I snuck inside our fence, but with all the brick work going up, the streetlight doesn't shine through as much anymore.. its an accident waiting to happen.. if Im going to keep doing this in the dark, really need a torch hehe..
After tripping over a few random things, in the dark I could just make out all the water and gas pipes in place running throughout the house - was good to see, or almost see... next on the list is the electrician. He's meant to be coming this week (assuming the rain goes away for a little bit)..

Bricks... 95% complete!!

Tiles & Bricks

Yesterday our roof tiles were delivered.. onto our neighbours land. Hopefully they get put up quickly as we know our neighbour is going to start work in the next 2 weeks.
We chose the waverly tile in Sambucca..

As for the bricks, well they are happening slowly but surely.. there is only one guy doing the whole house at the moment - some more photo's below..

Bricks begin..

The brick work has started.. :) the pic below is how much was done before the rain today!
Go away rain - your turning our land into a muddy swamp!

What a week!

Our little patch of dirt has taken shape and is looking just like we hoped!! This week we have gone from having just a slab to having a full frame including windows and gutters :) Check out the pictures below..

The most exciting news is that we chose our tiles today - with only a little stress.. (hehe who would have thought how much all those little extras would add up to!) but we are both completly happy with them.... we've done the whole house inside and out in a tile called drift-sand.. I can't wait to see them in the house!!

AND in other good news...............

Our bricks got delivered today! Woohoo!! Our front yard is absolutly full with bricks, can't wait to see them go up next week!!
