Lock-Up Complete



Two weeks have now passed since my last blog and within those two weeks, so much has been done with our house.  Bricks and plastering have all been completed.  We also now have our cornices, stairs and cabinets in the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and ensuite.  And yes, on Saturday, we found the renderers putting the first coat onto our front facade. Final rendering with our chosen colours  will be done after a few weeks.  Received our lock-up invoice last Thursday, we have now officially progressed 63% in our build.

Brick it to me gently



Ground floor is now fully wrapped.  Doors at the front and rear of garage and insulation batts have been installed.  We are now locked out! Our Site Supervisor paid us a courtesy call early Wednesday morning to update us of the build's progress and allowed us to ask questions. And the much awaited bricklaying started off on Thursday.   On Saturday morning, we went to jog around the area and stumbled on the owners of the other Carlisle double storey house being built in our street, they are a very young couple who, like us, are excited to see the completion of our houses.
