The bricklayers have almost finished. They have finished brickwork in the alfresco including the ledge for the bottom of the sliding stacking door, the alfresco piers and the front window ledges.
The truss company has been out to fix the gutter truss that they decided to fix by previously by making the below wall load bearing. They have cut up the truss and laminated new timber next to it. They have used some fairly large bolts and metal plates so hopefully there will be no issues with the way its fixed.
The fixing carpenter has also visited today and has finished shimming out and planning the walls in the Garage / Lounge wall, he even ripped the insulation in the process so hopefully this gets fixed up correctly.
The front door was also installed today. The front of the house now really stands out with this new door installed. I can't wait to see it finished with the stain added.
Tomorrow I expect that the brick layers will be finished.
