Bricks - Yay!!

11-06-2012 - Well the last couple of weeks have been busy.
We have lined the whole house with 15mm FoilBoard insulation. We had a little trouble with the steel frame fasteners which slowed the installation down quite a bit. We ended up replacing the supplied screws with new ones on about 600 of the clips..

The Electrician and Plumbers have both been in and completed their rough in work.

9,520 Old WoodVille Boral bricks have been delivered, and our brickie has started on the brick work.
We are using a stainless steel weep hole cover all around the house, which are bush fire rated and will also prevent mice and other small insects/rodents getting in the brick cavity. (Pictures to come soon)

Windows and Doors

27-05-2012 - Our Double Glazed windows were delivered. I took a heap of photos of them before they were installed but have lost the SD card the photos are on...

Anyway, the guys from Fine Point Carpentry dropped over and got the windows and doors all setup and installed.
Turns out that I ordered the door out of the laundry and master bedroom hinged from the wrong side. A quick call to DLG and they dropped back over the picked up both doors so they can be swapped back over..
A big shout out to DLG for their flexibility and wiliness to sort out the mistake I made..
