bricks and walls

We have bricks and walls!! Hooray!! The brick work is about three quarters finished and should be finished this week and all the walls (plasterboard) are up. The cornices still have to be done as do the skirting boards but it sure is looking like a real house now!! We can get the feel of it now - especially the changes that we made. We weren`t sure about how our bedroom was going to look as we made changes to the built in wardrobe and added a sliding door, but it looks great much roomier than we had imagined. The other big change that we had made was the living - dining area as we had taken a chunk out of that to add to the garage, but it also looks fine. We just have to hope that the rain we have had on the weekend now goes away so the brickies can get back to work tomorrow. Every time we visit it becomes more apparent just how much work we will have to do when we move in . I am hoping maybe to get a landscaper in to draw a plan of what we want and then we can do it ourselves. We aren`t really sure what to do with the back area as it has varied heights to deal with. Oh well plenty of time to think about it all!!
I guess next up we will have the garage doors installed and then we won`t be able to get inside anymore to see what they are up to!! We will have to visit during the day while the workers are there.
