Only the garage and tiling over the front room left to do.

Amazing progress - we have a roof
We were totally amazed today at the progress when we drove to our house. We knew the roof was going on this week, so we were expecting to see it, but we didn't really expect to see too much else. What we discovered was that the cladding was also almost all done. The place is really starting to come together on the outside and it is beginning to resemble the finished product.

A good outcome
The wrong bricks will be staying. To Eden Brae's credit, as soon as they realised the error, they offered to immediately rectify the problem. Because we did not want to see the progress of the build stall, we have agreed to keep the brick and morocco finish on the multi room. Eden Brae have graciously agreed to upgrade the oven to a 900mm one and install a few additional power points and light points that we wish we had added at the electrical appointment. All in all a good outcome.

Gutters and battens
Today we saw that the gutters and facias are on. The roof battons have also been installed, ready for roofing next week. Weather forecast is for showers until Wednesday, but we are hoping to have a roof by the end of the week.

Wrong bricks
We realised today that the bricks on the front multi room are the wrong ones. These should be the boral blackheaths, like the rest of the house. We'll have to ring the site supervisor tomorrow and see what can be done.
Bricks finished
A trip out to the block today revealed that the bricks are now finally finished. Haven't managed to get a close up look, but from what we could see they look pretty good. Just the cladding now and the roof, and we will be getting close to lock up.
