Roofing complete

This was from our visit to the site two weeks ago. Can't believe how fast they are working. The roof is complete, internal walls have been plastered. Looks like the house will be ready soon.

Bricks complete

Paid a visit to our block yesterday and the bricks are up and the structure for the roof is coming up too. It's happening real fast.

The window frames are in, the roof structure is up.

The brickwork facade for the front.

Looking closer at the study - the one with 2 windows, which we intend to use as our theatre instead.

Taking a good look at our long corridor.

Our garage and our meter box. We sighed with relief the builders got the meter box right - after they got it wrong on the plans a couple of times.

Bricks

We went to take a peek at the progress on our block today as we haven't been there in 3 weeks.

Guess what?

We found that the bricks have arrived and they are getting put up.

The builder had advised earlier this week that the estimated date of completion is 30 November 2011.

Here are the pictures from today's visit.

This was the sight the minute we got out of the car at the back of the house. It was exciting seeing the bricks.

Bricks on our slab.

From the front. We were excited that the bricks had arrived. We were even more excited that a section of wall has been put up.

Close-up of that section of wall.

Gap between our wall and the neighbour's house.

That's all for today. Stay tuned for our next update!

Slab down

We received another letter from our builder during the week regarding payment for the next stage now that the slab has been laid, so we decided to pay the land a visit yesterday to view the building progress.

In this picture you can see the grey concrete slab in the middle of the picture. That forms the foundation for our house. This is taken from the back of the house, where our garage will be.

You get to see more detail of the slab in this picture.

This picture was taken from the front of our land. And yes, that is our little car right at the back. 

Look at the smoothness of the slab. You can even see the indentations on the slab where the bathrooms will be.
