What a week for... Work, rest and play!

Hubby and I are now back from a long overdue holiday. A relaxing week in Queensland, catching up with friends, walks along the beach, golf, too much indulgent eating and just chilling out in the apartment! I definitely can't complain.

First stop back this morning and we had to swing by the house to see the progress and wow we were blown away, so much has happened... The rest of the external pillars have been moroka bagged and painted. The internals all insulated AND gyprock done! We are stoked, not sure what is next!

Need to follow up with the SS regarding some missing tiles and flashing but overall very happy with the progress this week.

The missing tile..

Some more pics to come shortly.

A new SS

We got a call from our SS this Monday to return my call from last Thursday but also to inform me that they are shifting workloads and we are getting a new SS. He told me the new guys name and that he would be in touch when they hand over the files. I thanked him for all his help and I don't mind the change so long as it doesn't hold up work. Hopefully it will be a fast and smooth transition and we can meet up to discuss things soon.

Ground floor eaves completed

Work is happening again only one day after I spoke to SS :-)

The ground floor eaves are now all installed, unfortunately I will have to call SS again as there is a whole row of roof tiles missing, I thought that was what they were waiting for but he may not be aware of it so better call back as if it rains and goes through it may wreck the new eaves.

Nasty thieves

I called my SS yesterday for a progress update. All went well with the frame inspection and good to proceed. Unfortunately no work has been able to progress on site due to thieves, that is the buggers stole some stuff from site! They are now waiting on another delivery to re-commence work.

I also raised a few questions I had on some flashing tha I think is missing and also the gutter and valley guard. I'm waiting to hear back on that.

On A good note, SS said ground floor eaves, insulation and hopefully gyprock should all be done during next week so will be looking forward to that weekend to check it out.

Roof almost complete

There hasn't been a great deal of movement at the site this week. I rang the SS on Tuesday and he chased up the roof tilers who said that they would be back on Wednesday. Our SS also told me that the frame inspection was being done by the private certifier on Wednesday so once that was completed, providing everything was okay they could order the insulation and commence interior works.

On wednesday sure enough the roof tilers were back, the have completed most of it execpt for a few sections (I assume that will have to be fixed before the eaves can be done). Also some of the gutter guards have gone in. Will have to double check later that they all go in and for the first floor too (as that was an explensive but compulsory addition).

Will contact SS this week and get an update and hopefully work will commence again with the internal work this week.
