More Bricks + Scaffolding

Stopped by the plot this evening to check on progress, and they've been busy the last two days.

We now have scaffolding, and more brickwork has been done...

Brickwork continued. Here's a few photos of the great work they've been doing.

The back of the house. We plan to plant bamboo or something similar against the ugly fence/wall combo...

They've started on the steps inside from the hallway up to the living area at the back of the house...

Brickwork Starts

We got a call from our site supervisor today, Wisdom have been great keeping us uptodate, and he said he had bricklayers and plumbers on site. When we stopped by this evening to check they'd bricked up part of the front of the house and the garage, and all the pipework was done.

We were really pleased with the colour of the bricks as we'd been a bit worried whether we'd made the right choice.

Most of the front of the house will be rendered, hence the motar is flush and rough in places. They've done a great job down the sides of the house where it will be face brick.

Frame Complete, Windows In

Today they finished the frame and put all the remaining windows in. We've been told that brickwork should start early next week.

First Floor Frame and Roof!

This morning they'd managed to get the first floor up and the roof trusses. Whilst I was there the bricks were also being delivered. We're on track for brickwork to start next week. :-)

This Is What We're Aiming For

Thought I'd post a quick graphic of the house and colours we're aiming for. This is my first pretty poor attempt at using MyVirtualHome (great piece of software). I haven't figured out how to do the balcony properly yet, but it gives you an idea.
