Fireplace framing and last minute touchups 27 September 2013

Well we had hoped to be into our first week of bricklaying but time drags on as the final timber framing touch ups happen. We met with our bricklayers on site by accident and it was apparent that they needed some things done before they could start.

Our fireplace framing needed to be finished so they could brick around it, they needed some more ground base material around the house and they needed the tiles moved from the garage floor.

Hopefully next week we will be into the thick of building again. Some pictures below of the fireplace, should be good when we get to put it in !!

We had specified the fireplace to be 400mm off the floor but the messages got lost and it was originally framed to be on the floor.

This was quickly fixed by team PD and the correct framing installed with a solid base for the gas fireplace firebox. All ready now for bricking.

The bricks have been distributed around the house in preparation for the works next week, given it is grand final week-end not much chance of any work this week-end. We are sure it will take off quickly really soon though.
