Plaster!!!!!!

Well, I couldn't go up for a look yesterday and I knew the plaster could have started and... started it did! They must have been working full on as it looks like it's nearly done!

Great work SS and Wisdom!

We have walls, it's so exciting!

Sorry but I got so excited that I've posted a few pics...

Cladding is on!

The cladding on the facade has been installed, it's now taking shape!

The metal capping above the corbel bricks will be painted the same colour as the cladding (I think the final cladding colour will be similar to the current colour, maybe they won't bother painint it haha). This was something that didn't come up at colour selection and we freaked when we saw it in Ironstone (apparently it got done on that colour to match the front door) but the SS advised that they'll fix it by painting it so it's all good!

Plaster didn't end up starting today as they got delayed at another job. Not to worry, I guess it gives us something else to look forward to tomorrow or the next day (when they manage to start).

Plaster has been delivered!

The plaster boards have been delivered! we can't wait to see the walls up!

Insulation done

Wall insulation has been done and the roof insulation has started! The walls are taking shape now! no more back of bricks with messy mortar!




Cleaned up bricks

The bricks have been cleaned up and they look really good. Some chips here and there from the roof tiles layers and maybe from the cleaning but the SS and the brickie advised that they'll be replaced.

Now that they are cleaned you can see a few inconsistencies with the width of the mortar but I guess they can't be perfect!

Electrical fit out done

The sparkys were on site today and did all the wiring. Nearly everything is in the right location apart from a couple of powerpoints / light switches that are on the right wall but wrong location. I'll speak to the SS in the morning and I am sure they'll be fixed no probs.

Wisdom and specially our SS (F) are doing a great job, they are going full steam ahead!
