The curved T-Bar for the portico finally arrived this week, about #^%$#$^ time it only took them 2 months to get it (not sure who is at fault here the makers of the t-bar or EB); they started doing the bricks in Dec. They finished the brickworks this week HOORAY!!! so now we can move on and get the bricks cleaned, take the scaffolding down and hurry up and get the rest of the roof/cladding on so we can lock it 'up' Eddy. I'm now stressing about the frames in this weather and being out in the element for this length of time (approx 4mths) and the floors flooded....surely if the frames are treated they should be ok???? Lock up stage was planned for Jan so lets hope they make up for lost time this month.
When I spoke to the bricklayers they told me that they're moving on from EBH as they're just not co-ordinated enough. EB seem to underestimate the number of mortar/supplies required and they have to keep calling them to sort it out. With our job they could have finished 3 weeks ago but since they had to wait for the t-bar have been delayed in finishing the job. He seems like a good operator and have not found any issues with his work but will wait and see from the expert. Will get Howard Ryan to check to make sure all is ok.
Last month I ordered our kitchen appliances and was a bit excited about getting them when they arrived I can't wait to use them now...I also bought a microwave oven to match - can't wait.
This week I met up with trimlite to get a fencing quote - doesn't sound too promising as we have a corner block - he thinks it will be very expensive approx $30k or more...what the !!!! so not sure what to do on this front.

We're still stressing over the style of the side fence - all 31 metres of it ! Corner blocks are a pain. But you have to get the fence right aesthetically & security-wise, as there's sooooo much of it !
...and bricks cleaned as well !!!!!!! Bugger, we're still waiting & waiting & waiting............
Southies - how ofter do you ring your SS to see what's happening? have you received any reports back from EB at each stage of the progress eg when the frame was done did you get a report from Tyrells??
