February 20th

Brickwork up to head height (mine of course), so not that high. Brickie’s arrived 11th Feb. The scaffolding arrived this morning. I drive past on my way home to find half of it on the nature strip. A big no, no with council. The SS called me on Tuesday and said that the brickie would at least another couple of weeks if not three. Very slow. Painfully slow. I cannot see why when they are week 17 into a 30 week build, that they don’t pull all stops to get back on track. Absolutely ridiculous for such a large project building company. What makes it worse is the Metricon home next door started a week later and are at gyprock stage. I need to find someone to talk to at Clarendon. 

February 2nd

Frame is complete apart from the roof trusses in the alfresco and the garage. A few days behind schedule. 5.5wks now in total. This coming week sees the plumbing, site clean and brick delivery. The brickies start on Monday 10th, weather permitting. I gather they can’t do brick work in the rain.
