We're almost there. The roof is pretty much done now, just waiting for the finishing touches (on the roof capping), and the bricks are 99% there. They should be done by the end of this week.
These pictures were taken on Sunday night.
Ryan's room and main bedroom windows:
Here's a shot from the carport. We've bricked one side in so we need a door to access the front. This solved the mystery of the extra doorframe the carpenters left! I thought they must've made a mistake he he he! The brickwork is all finished around the door and that side of the carport now.
And a shot from the front, showing the roof. We are excited to see how the house actually looks now!
Gyprocking is starting next week! We have the electrical wiring on Monday/Tuesday, wall and roof insulation on Wednesday, and then the site supervisor says that most of the gypocking should be in by the weekend! They will spend about ten days finishing it I think, then the doors go on and we're locked out!

We have had a lengthy experience with our house building adventures. It all goes back to April 2007, however things look like they might finally be happening! This object of this blog is to keep everyone updated on the progress :)

Brickwork pics, part 1...
Here are the brickwork pictures which were taken yesterday.
From the front, also showing the roof tiles which were delivered on Friday. There is no room at the front of our property, the tiles are actually on the road! The scaffolding can be seen around the carport roof :)
A side shot:
And another:
And from the back:
They are currently up to Andrew's bedroom window. As the weather is forecast to be *slightly* cooler (39, but only 34 down here) I am hoping that they can knock off a decent amount tomorrow. Will be checking in the morning, and hoping like mad that the tilers will also be starting.
