Today at least involved the delivery of some new goodies - gutters & fascia that will go up tomorrow and a whirly bird that will be installed with our roof on Monday or Tuesday.
Surfmist fascia, Monument gutters
We also got a meter box!
We were told today that bricks should've started already but will be delayed til 18th December due to no bricklayers being available. So we'll possibly have two days of bricks before Xmas break.
Plumber that was due to arrive yesterday didn't show up but given the bricks won't be starting for a couple of weeks, there's no rush really.
Before site work began, I was thrilled at the thought of a frame by Xmas and now I need to remind
myself that I shouldn't be getting disappointed by no bricks. I think when it all starts happening, you ALWAYS want more and more.
Things are coming along well though and we're lucky to have such a lovely SS who has been keeping us updated on everything
Aww I'm sorry to hear you guys are being delayed, hopefully a brickie miraculously appears earlier than the 18th :) I know what you mean by wanting more and more, I've been so eager to finish work every day this week to see if there have been changes on the block. How on earth are we going to keep our sanity through the Christmas break? I'm trying to figure out if it is too early to start buying homewares in the Boxing Day sales haha!
ReplyDeleteaww thanks mel, i know im just being greedy though haha you must be absolutely stoked that work has finally begun on your land. i don't blame you for wishing the day away until you can visit your future home again. i know right, what are we going to do? perhaps we'll need to form some sort of building support group to get us through hahaha and no, never too early! i say this as i also plan on making some purchases haha we'll probably get some amazing bargains and afterall, we NEED these things anyway right? ;)
DeleteJust spotted your reply! We had super good news and there will still be work happening on our block over Christmas because the guy doing the roof lives down the road. I wonder if they will do they same for you? Apparently Christmas closure is from December 20 to January 6th which isn't too bad. I'm going to be hunting for ceiling fans and fancy light fixtures in the Christmas sales. I'm actually doing the Boxing Day sales in Sydney and am trying to convince my friends that we need a trailer haha! I don't know about you guys, but we have nowhere near enough stuff to fill the new house. It's only the two of us in a villa so there will be lots more rooms to furnish!
