A New Year a Bricked up House..

Its the new year and already we are into February.
I apologise for not having up loaded any posts since before Christmas, but not many things have happened at the house in the first few weeks of January and we were busy with holidays and enjoying ourselves across the ditch in NZ and up in QLD for a my lovely Sister in-law's big "4-0".
There is good news in the last few weeks though:
THE BRICKIES ARE HERE!
Yes you read correctly! We have brick work. They started back around the 20th January and seem to be working pretty hard really. This weekend when Del and I went passed, we were surprised to find the brick work up to the second story and the garage bricked in. The scaffolding has also been put up in preparation for the second story bricking and the second story has been wrapped up like a neat little pressie!
It is really coming together now.
I also noticed that the waste point that had been missed in the slab laying has amazingly appeared!

Our plasterboard has been delivered and is waiting to be put up, it will look so different when that is in I am sure!

In Melbourne over the last weekend we had massive storms and torrents of water flooding areas across the Melbourne Metro area. I was nervous about how the house had held up through all the rain and whether the lake nearby to us had over flowed or anything. So on our visit this weekend we were curious to see if there was any cause for concern. Turns out it was fine and we have our moat back again, it had dried up with all the heat we had had, but its back!

I have spoken with our Site Supervisor and he has let me know that things are about to get even more exciting and will move along quickly, lets hope he is right!

Stay tuned for more developments ;)

Cheers
