Brickies Are Back... And Gone

The brickies came back yesterday and today to finish up the garage and the bricks under doors and windows. The pillar at alfresco was done too, but forgotten to take a picture of that :P






For this pantry window, there was a gap in the bricks suppose for that expansion thingy. However, there was nothing there and we can actually see the green sisillation wrap...



Also noted is the plaster ceiling in the alfresco. The plaster board was not screwed properly and it is as if falling off any moment...



The cornices were done last Monday.

[Balcony, flooring not done yet]



Internal doors and architraves had been delivered and will be installed this week.



The stairs were also installed today. We did not have any upgrades on the stairs or balustrading. With the standard ones, we're pleased they looks good... so far :)









We had also received a updates call from SS this afternoon, first time ever! Anyway, he has informed us the powder room will be installed with a square shape exhaust fan instead of round, because only the square ones come with the duct. So, our powder room will be ducted next Tuesday, good news.

He has also mentioned our broken roof tiles will be fixed by the roof tilers eventually, and they'll have to manage without the scaffolding. Hope this rain does not cause any issues.

Hey H!
Your place is powering ahead. Good to see.

LOL at the drooping plaster. Your plasterer is one screw short of ... (I was going to say orgasm, but that's rude).

Those gaps in your brickwork are the expansion joints and they will get filled much later in the build. If you can see right through to the green wrap, that's a good thing - it means your expansion joints aren't blocked with mortar (like ours).

I'm confused about the square exhaust fan, as opposed to the round one. Haven't heard of that before, but I guess it doesn't really matter, as long as it does the job :))

Your stairs are coming along great. The guy installing them looks like his second job is lead singer for a punk band. Hehehe

Cheers

Hi Liana,

Not sure how is the alfresco plaster doing now, forgotten to check that today :)

We've not see the square exhaust fan, so not sure how different is it from the round ones. Our powder room is in the middle of the house, so no windows. It will have exhaust fan, but it was not ducted to the external, and stale air will be circulating around the house... So now PD will provide us the square one, which comes with a duct.

The stairs guy is actually quite good looking :P Won't be surprise if he really leads a band :)
