We received a copy of quality inspection 2, and must say that this confirmed for us that the quality of the build to-date is excellent. I could understand about 99% of what was written on the report, but talked to the supervisor about it all anyway. Happy to say that all items identified on the report will be addressed and when inspection 3 is done will be double-checked.I am going to talk about the job the brickies did again, it is just that I really admire the skill involved and it is just such a major part of the house. The inspection report confirmed that the brickwork was spot on and of an excellent standard. There was really nothing to say on the report regarding the brickwork. So again, well done fellas I owe you a couple of slabs or better!
The pictures you see here are a couple of snaps taken on supermums phone. It was getting dark, so these are a bit blurry. Will take the camera out on the weekend.
I stopped by after work and did another torch job. I could see the quality of the paintwork on the gutters, fascia and downpipe was excellent and this was one thing were I could surely see the colour.
This is another trade that I appreciate after having done quite a bit of painting myself. I was happy to see (in the dark anyway) that there were no obvious drips or runs and no splatters on the brickwork.
I did have a look inside and think that this paint is the sealer/undercoat at this stage. You can see that all of the cabinets and windows have been taped up. This is because they spray paint the house which I think is a great way to go. Would sure beat rollers and brushes!
The architraves, skirting boards and doors have all been hung. I am really happy with the choice of profile we have selected.
Everything in the house is straight, level, square and has even gaps where there should be gaps. These are the things that I am paying attention to now and I think I have a bit of an eye for them also.
When things are not symmetrical and supposed to be, it drives me crazy! In our current home I can point out each and every wall that is not square or has a bow in it.
Tune in next time "Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel" and there should be more photos of the paint job (yes I still live in my childhood and may make Get Smart references also).

It's looking fantastic ! You guys must be getting so excited. The kids must love seeing it being built too. Have they picked their rooms out yet ?
Hi Rel
We issued a room to the kids, but made it seem like they were selecting these.
The kids are very excited, and so are we. They love to go by the house as often as possible, which is fairly easy for us as we only live 5.7 Km away and the school is close by.
I no yours will start soon, so we will be watching with interest.
Until next time.
Tony
Oh boy, I should proof read a bit better! I mean't to say Rel "I know yours will start soon..."
