Colorbond Delivery

This miserably rain is still hanging around. It rained all of last night. Our colorbond roof sheeting was delivered this morning.

Fascia and Guttering

Rainmageddon go away please

Rain rain go away, come again some other day!! Our brickwork is almost finished and our roof is due to go up this week. I guess this won't happen due to rain. I'm sure my backyard is now full of water. There is a hole under our aircon slab, it will be full of water now! I hope this doesn't damage the slab.  

Bricklaying begins

Bricklaying started. It's very hard to get a decent picture through that safety fencing!! Picture is from day 2 of bricklaying.

Natural variation in bricks

This is natural variation. Both bricks are Austral Everyday Life "Engage". Top brick is current sample at Austral yard. Bottom brick is the one currently being delivered as "engage". Crazy!

Crazy Bricks

We visited Austral Bricks today. My head almost exploded when I saw the current sample bricks compared to 5 months ago. How can the brick colours vary so much???? The brick company calls it "natural variation", which translates to... different colour. It's just a lucky dip really. Choose your brick but don't fall in love with it because, 5 months later when your bricks arrive they will be a different colour!!! Don't trust the website, brochure , or display wall.
