Brick stage and lock up



















Can I just say we had the best brickies ever!!!!

Anton and Brad were total perfectionists. We've seen houses go up around us at lightning speed and have whinged and complained that ours has had delays. However, when I see the dodgy brickwork, render and tiling on these rushed houses I am so happy we went with Metricon and not one of the "cheaper" gimmicky places that promise you a house in 16 weeks. Anton and Brad took their time, selected bricks very carefully and made sure all the lines and spaces were exact. They were also really friendly and always happy to say g'day. We baked them lots of cookies and they're coming back to do our letter box. The best in the business I would say.

I'll just add that Sarah and I have changed schools and we study and work much closer to the new home...this means the photos start coming thick and fast as we pop down most days.

There's plenty going on inside as well. Our lock up carpenter was in straightening and reinforcing walls, the shower bases and bath tub arrived and even some FC sheeting turned up. (22/08/06)

More inside activity...including the sound proofing of the theatre room..by us.

29/08/06 final details.Now you may be wondering why the doors are being featured again, but these aren't the same doors thanks to some enterprising thieves who helped themselves to the first lot. It's sad that people are constantly stooping so low but apparently it happens a lot. The house is close to lock up so let's hope these are safe.

2nd Sept the Air con is in.


Shots of the air con and heating ducts, Ross' wiring skills and Peter and Aaron get handy with the staple gun, reinforcing the internal insulation.
