Photostitched picture
I took these pictures today and used photostitch to create a merged photo of the house.
04 November 2008 Bricks
Since my last update - there has been rain...and more rain...
At least most of the bricks are up well about 60%. All the bricks for the back and garage side of the house are up.
Spoke to our SS and he advised me that the roof tiles and bricks should be finished on 13-14 November. This will then be the time for my independent inspector to come around and have a look at the place. Lets hope everything goes smoothly.
Over the weekend we went to see some possible carpets/tiles for the house. Narrowed down the carpet to a couple and have chosen our tiles - no photos have been taken of the tiles.
I have also started to see some problems with the house:
1. Stud missing from frame
2. Burnt frame and board
3. Bad bricks used for the house. All photos are below.
Stud missing from frame
Burnt hole from welding the plumbing. As you can see the welder burnt the frame and the board!
Dud bricks used, this is just careless the tradies should know to leave these two bricks out. The brown stands out in the white.
We have chosen this as a possible carpet for the four bedroom, its dark gray.
A nice bright red carpet for the cinema room...

Brickies....21-10-2008
I went early this morning to take some photos before i went to work, surprised to see that the brick layers was already there working.
This afternoon i went back to the building site and the brick layers have completed part of the house. From my estimate, all the brickwork should finished either this week or early next week. See photos below...
This is where the Gas water heater will be installed
Plumbing has been put in for the bath taps.

Gutters up 15-10-2008
The gutters that was delivered yesterday have been put up by the builders. First sign of colours, the black and white looks good. I also took a panoramic of the house... will do this from now on because it just looks so cool!
About the 21K from Rudd, looks like we are not getting it. Basically it applies to all who sign from 14 October 2008 to 30 June 2009. Bummer... 14K extra would have been a big help.

Rudd the man...
Some very good news this morning from the Rudd Government, as a result of the financial crisis they have raised the FHOG. See below:
As of yet there is very little information regarding the grant. Hopefully when more details come to light we find ourselves 14K richer....
The builders have finished the frame today (even thought it rained for most of the day in Sydney) and already the colourbond gutters have been delivered.
I purchase a Canon IXUS 85 IS yesterday, one neat function it has is a stitch function, this allows you to take panoramic photos. This is the photo i took using the new camera.
