Today the brickwork has been completed. The brickies did most of their work last week and to my surprise finished it off yesterday which was Saturday.
The brick tie spacing is adequate many still need to be nailed off, I hope they do this quickly. Termi-mesh has been installed correctly and under the flashing where there is no drop edge beam. Brickwork over the garage door also looks good.
All plumbing (that is hot & cold water and gas) I believed was done last week. The lines to the hot water system and rainwater tank are all in. Lines run above the ceiling, entering from the master bed room and go through to the kitchen, laundry and bathrooms.
The lines are a sort of slightly flexible PVC material which are about 3mm thick.
I checked many of the truss plates and nailed connections in the roof and walls as I was worried about the extended exposure of the timber to the elements, but they looked okay.
Not sure if I mentioned this earlier but underground charged stormwater lines are installed.
East elevation of the house showing one of many articulation joints. At the moment the joint is just a foam backing rod the flexible sealant is yet to go in.
The awesome wife with 1% of her family (she looks taller than she really is). Front elevation in the background - I feel the external colours compliment themselves enough so when the roof and garage door is installed there will be a good balance of colour.
As viewed from the master bedroom: Plumbing lines above the ceiling level. Yellow is gas. Green (the inside one) is sewerage and Black is cold water which gets split into hot and cold down the line.
