House Update – 14 Dec 07

Big news on the house front, we have some walls.  We actually have four window frames and a door frame with bricks around them. 

The bricky actually started on Monday this week.  He would have got more done if all the bits he needed had been delivered or what had been delivered was right.  The window frames that have been delivered were all put together back to front (ie they opened on the outside).  The manufacturer had to come down and dismantle them all and put them all back together the right way. 

There has also been a delay in getting some steel feet delivered.  They need to go in so some support beams go fit into them and then some steel lintel can go over the top of the windows to support the bricks.  Hopefully they will be delivered next week now. 

In spite of this the bricky has done a wonderful job so far.  Have a look at the photos and you will see what he has managed to do in just two days.  He will be there all next week before taking some leave over Christmas. 

Funny story – our friendly neighbour was talking to Dale last Saturday.  Apparently on Saturday morning this truck pulled up on the opposite side of the street.  First the driver hopped out and used our lovely pink toilet, and then the passenger hopped out and used the toilet too, and then they just drove off.   Hahaha.
