The bricks arrived late last week and the brickie arrived on Monday.
As you can see from the photos below, the structure is now taking shape and our house is beginning to emerge from the ground.
Bricks have arrived.
We chose a red-blue blend pressed brick. This is what they look like before they are cleaned.
Perimeter brickwork on the strip footings.
Brick piers and basework complete.The brickie will brick up the garage walls next to allow for the roof structure to be framed once the timber wall frames are erected. In the meantime the timber floor section is ready to be framed. The wall frames have already been pre-fabricated and are ready to be installed once the flooring is in place.
Stay tuned.
Greg.
you must all be feeling a certain amount of excitement by now! It's starting to look real! *grins*
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you guys! It's going to be brilliant. I didn't have the patience to go through the building process, so we bought established. Look forward to seeing the frame go up!
