16. Brickwork Almost Done!

Our house is progressing nicely and everyday there is more to see. 
We have had a few minor things that needed to be addressed like the fireplace and a couple of doors but Dino and John have been fantastic (and very patient with me) so this has all been sorted. 
 I am sure that they will be very happy when we reach lock up stage and they can keep me out.

There is still so much to do and we have been running around trying to get quotes for flooring, airconditioning, driveways etc ..as well as finalise our colour selections. (what a dilemma...what to choose??) 

 The school holidays were a great break for us but with so many public holidays because of Easter and ANZAC Day it meant that the opportunity to browse, shop and get quotes was pretty limited. 
 I do like it when we get the school vacation AND the public holidays.

The parapet wall to the end of the garage has been done, it looks great and now affords our neighbours some privacy at last.  Finally our block is totally fenced. 
Once our driveway has been done we will then install the rest of the colorbond that is stacked up on our patio at the rental.


The front door, can't wait to see the verandah complete the picture! 



Looking down the hallway  towards the front door and into the garage.


Craig cleaning the pool, again.  We are trying to keep it clean and mozzie free so we don't kill the neighbours with Ross River Virus.
The mudlarks enjoy the pool at least!


Looking across the pool into the alfresco.  The huge lintels were lifted in by crane last week. 
Having a "roof line" gives this area some dimension.


Another shot across the pool.


Looking out from the family room, sorry about the mess!


On Friday the internal collumns went into the garage and more lintels were lifted into place. 
Wish we had of been there to see that!


The front..again...I am loving this elevation!


Well that should do it for now...next update will be when the roof goes on, which will hopefully be before the wet weather arrives.
 We are getting excited now and have a potential handover date of September.
Start potting plants please!
