We finally meet with our site supervisor on Tuesday and went through the problems or independent inspector found. Lenny promised that all the problems would be rectified asap:

He was worried about our roof tiles (or lack of roof tiles) and without tiles no progress would be made.... Bricks had been delivered, but without roofing the brickies would do nothing.

Phone calls from Porter Davis on Friday asking for payment for the frame... Have the fixes been made ? NO ! But still we have to pay on their promise that everything will be fixed (its in writing).

E-mail Friday (again Porter Davis) need to sign a document agreeing to pay $670 for the roof tiles (our CSA had to get permission to use these tiles, first we knew).

So after all these caveats during the week we expected no change from last weekend.

Imagine our surprise to see brickwork up around the house.

Front view: Brickwork for the back wall of the garage and the lounge, nothing around the study as yet.
Round the back: Brickwork on both sides of the house and as you can see the back wall is coming along nicely (although Giorgia says the bricks aren't straight)! Can not see the damp proof course poking through the lower brick levels, but what do I know.

After worrying about the gaps around the door frames and the house frame (and still wondering) what they would pack it out with, it looks like they just brick up to the edge, still to see what filler will be used in the gaps.

Its the same with the window frames still quite a gap between the window frame and the house frame.

This is the electricity box, it will be half in the house and half outside (I did need to check with Lenny) again another gap in the external walls, lets see how this gets sealed into the brickwork.

Lenny had told us he was waiting for our corner windows to be delivered for the upstairs rumpus room. At least the frames are now both here (although the corner part of the window is missing). How will that be double glazed ?

Problems fixed:

Steel post - Now bolted down (lets hope they fix the house frame they had to damage to fix it)

Other problems: L brackets ! What are they ? Flooring got enough nails now ?

Still to fix:

Lenny knows about the 'missing slab' area, he was surprised it had not been fixed yet.

Moving hot and cold pipes for the bidets (this week)?
