Bricks

Bricking started on Tuesday last week, but have had a few days of rainy weather.  A few progress pics...

Brick layers said the job would be finished in 3-4 weeks.  The front of the house has 'seconds' bricks that will be rendered in Surfmist later.  Rest of the house has Vanilla Ice bricks from PGH with rolled grey mortar joints.

Vanilla Ice bricks for remaining house.  Clamps for defining area with articulation joints.

Roof complete

The roof team finished on Friday.  A few pics of the completed work.  Unusually, some sarking was added to the eastern and western sides (above windows).  I'm not sure whether this is for building code, as we had not specified any sarking with the build.

Also, a call with the site supervisor on Friday and he mentioned bricking will start early this week.

Gutter/fascia completion and roof tiles update

The fascia was completed early Monday with scaffolding also installed.  The roof tilers were onsite today.  Most of the eastern side was covered by end of day!

Some good weather expected for the rest of the week - and then rain expected on Friday.  Will be nice to have a roof!
