Knock, knock Now I have a door. Too bad I don't have any friends to visit.

Roof done, Side wrap (d42)

Week 6
I had a site meeting the site supervisor today. Just went through a few issues I had with the frame stage and external plumbing issues. I asked him when he thinks he can have the house ready, still no comment. I guess he doesn't want to commit to any date, just yet.

I love the wrapping, looks like a smurf.

Garage. They missed the top section of the wrap, so they can brick overhand. If you build close to a boundary, rather than removing the fence, they will brick from the inside.

The smurf house.

Tiles on (d40)

There was a gang of 6-8 men today putting up the roof tiles. Even through the showers they persisted with the work. That's what I like to see. They got a lot done in one day. They need to come back and grout under the corner tiles. I think they still need to finish off the lead flashings too.

I've seen the roofing down on another site, they use a conveyor which is loaded from the ground and is collected on top of the roof and stacked.

Sarking from under the roof.

A new roof looks great

Tiles arrived (d36)

Roof tiles arrived. Temporary fall protection has been added to the front of the house.
The electrician has laid out where the cables are running at the front. I will have to becareful, if I need to excavate the retaining wall at the front, that I don't cut the cables.
