Brickwork in progress ...

The brickies have been at it throughout last week and have given our home more definition. We are satisfied with brickwork and are sure it will look even more beautiful once they’ve been cleaned. Some images of the job completed so far ...



The bricks are here ...

The bricks were also delivered on this day and I was given the opportunity to inspect them and provide feedback. Casaview’s chief carpenter was present and quick to point out a number of issues to gauge my reaction. While the colour is almost identical to the sample we saw, there are streaks and crevices on some of the bricks. Casaview has advised me that they would reject any brick with such abnormality and that they would consult with Boral to seek their resolve for this.

Boral Graphite, the colour is almost identical to the sample
but this particular brick shows obvious aberrations.

The brickies were also present to prepare the site for their brickwork commencing Monday 5 May.

The frames are complete ...

Last Friday, I was allowed inside to see how things were progressing and had a good walk-around tour of the site. I was thoroughly informed on a number of things and was very impressed with the details such as the quality and grade of timber used for different parts of the house, the difference between full treated pine and T2 treated pine and the role of different reinforcements (metal and wooden beams).  A good photo opportunity, hence the following...
