bricking and installation of plaster

The bricking of the house is finished and the plaster boards have been installed in the whole house... Lenny did say the plaster would start but didnt expect to see it all finished. Am i happy with the quality of the job no... im just a novice but didnt think it looked real good. In the alfresco part of the ceiling has come away hasnt been nailed properly. lots of areas around the internal house walls are torn and broken and uneven gaps around the edges. I guess the cornices will cover them up. Think i will request a site meet this week. they have delivered the cornices. Now its starting to look like a real house. even though its supposed to be in lockup my Sliding door was left open and one of the front bedroom windows has been taken out of its frame. so anyone can hop in. Now i know why they took the window out... so they could throw the plaster out grrrr. My neighbour was telling me she got such a fright and wondered what all the banging was at my house .. so she had a look she told me all she saw was this plaster being thrown out the window.. it made a hell of a noise.

ductwork electrical installed

Had a call from my site supervisor saying hes back from holidays and informs us that plastering will start in a couple of days, this house so far is flying along.

Had a email from customer care saying brickwork will be finished my Jan 24th and we will be in lock up. wowww

Call me nuts .. on sat i went down to the house and swept the lower frames of saw dust and mess .Dont know wether the plasterers clean it before they plaster the walls but didnt want them to plaster up the mess in side them .

Will have to call kevin and ask him wether hes been in touch with PD and informed them of the issues that need to be fixed especially the plumbing

The electrician has been and put in the cables and wiring fone points but noticed there wasnt a power point in the ensuite and bathroom damm forgot to tell the site supervisor.

ductwork has been roughed in and will be finished this week with the insulation.

I cant believe how smooth this has all gone ... no major headaches thankgood ness .. cross fingers and knock on wood everything else will go well after lock up.

bricking pics











bricking has started and independent frame inspection

yeee haaa our bricking of the house has started... looking really good im happy with the choice of bricks. My brickies said to me while i was at the house they will do a good job for me.

Kevin from New Home Inspections came to the house to day and inspected the outside and inside. He found a few minor issues but nothing really to worry over. Interestingly the frame had been past before he came and he still found things wrong. So it pays to get someone independent to have a look for your own peace of mind.
