Brickwork Nearly Finished

Most of the brickwork is finished. The front and both sides are pretty much done and the back of the house has the brick level up about half way. Should be all done tomorrow I'm thinking since most of this lot in the photos has been done in the last 2 days so still drying. Was meant to be fnished and with the roof etc on by now but apparently the brickies went away for a week when the superviser had booked them, and then it rained for a few days, so it got a bit behind......Still going fast tho.

Sliding Doors In

Sliding doors and all windows are in. The rest of the bricking is meant to be getting done this week and then the gutters and roof tiles.

Upper Level Windows in

Roof Frames

We went to the block after buying the lights and found they have just about finished putting on the roof frames.

Lighting

We have looked at a few lighting shops and think we are going to go with these lights for now. Otherwise we will be having floor lamps and desk lamps etc, as well as the ligting the fishtank will give off for the theatre room.All of the lighting is brushed (matt) steel to match the stainless steel kitchen and are simple square/rectangle shapes. The only place that we might have some sort of fancy lighting pendant is the entry foyer, but haven't decided on anything for that yet.All of the lights are also ecosmart, T5 fluorescent or LEDS so all approved for BASIX and don't use too much power.We have our bathroom and laundry tiles selection appointment at 2:30 this afternoon and then we are going to the lighting shop (beacon lighting) to get these lights while they have a 30% off sale on each second light purchase. Then we are going out to the block to see what else has been done on the build.

Upper Framework Done

The upper framework and flooring has been done today

Upper level flooring

All the beams are on for the upper flooring to go on and the upper frames should go up tomorrow. They had a crane there this morning lifting all the beams and wall/roof frames onto our block from where it was left over the long weekend (on the vacant block next to ours). Good thing the owner of that block didn't see it or get upset it was there.

One of the neighbours took some photos for us of the crane doing it's bit. Photos below are of the finished floor beams. Can see in the 2nd botom photo all the flooring to sit on the beams and the wall frames.
