Bricking almost complete

It has been three and a half weeks since the bricklayers started and they have only one day to go until they are finished. We are very happy with their work as it is really neat and tidy. Hubby talked to our SS today and it looks like next week will see the bricklaying complete, the bricks cleaned and hopefully the gutters up. The following week, the roof tiles will be delivered (on Tuesday) and the tiling will start on Wed or Thurs. 


The front of the house. The top left hand side will have the cedar cladding (which will be installed after the roof goes on). The pier with the commons (orange bricks) will have a moroka finish later on. I already can't wait to see the scaffolding come down, but we are a long way off this.

It is strange that the bricks look a lot lighter once layer than on the pallet. The mortar makes a big difference. 


Our kitchen window was replaced this week and we are happy with it. It looks a lot better than the other one with the frame down the middle.
