Great stuff Hootie!! Gotta watch those trespassers

There's cheap pallets for sale all over the place mate - gumtree had a stack them last time I last looked.
That checklist is getting smaller and smaller mate! Greeeeeeeat stuff!!!…

Hi Perth_Euro - Yep, the builder knows that we have a camera on site to take a time lapse. Funnily enough, the SS even reached out to us a few…

We've had a few hiccups over the last few weeks and had to get a few things redone (nothing major), which unfortunately lost us some more time, but sh!t happens…

Poooooooo! Nothing worse than tools down and poor / non-existent communication.
I hope you hear back from the SS today - nothing worse than rocking up to site like no mates…

Keeping us in suspense eh? Love your work!
Oh, and I think the pallet home theatre is an awesome idea - I would never have though of it! That said, we…

Yep - carrying that 1 is hard work!
Looking good.

Your kids are on the money Hootie - I'd be smashing the sherrin through there for sure. Did the plumber not have a saw handy that day or something?

He he he - love the comments! Melsie, I reckon your mate was on the money
There's been no movement on site for the…

Couldn't agree more Justin. Most of us are reasonable people and understand things don't always go to plan. Talk to me about it, keep me in the loop and then…

Yeeaaahh baby! Motoring along now - just need them to keep going and not go AWOL.

Well, no movement on site this week - except for the wall below. It didn't really want to stand up any more...

Yeaaaahhhh! Great news Hootie.
Interesting markings you have there - is it meant to be a batman sandwich?

How much more can there be to do!! You must be getting close...

Looks like kikuyu to me mate - but I'm no Fu Manchu

Bring it ON! Fingers crossed the weather plays ball!

What a great quote Justin! I better not show the wife though
Just caught up on your thread - it's really all coming together…

Any sign of brickies yet Hootie? Feels like its been a week already

Just caught up on your thread Wonky - Great to see things starting to come together and I'm really keen to watch this all unfold!
Looks like I missed the discussion…

Brickwork is now largely complete (alfresco still needs to be finished off once the lintels arrive), base render coat is being applied and the roof timbers have arrived. Happy days!!!…

Well, looks like the gap between the brickwork and the slab in the hallway has been addressed:

Thanks Shelleybear and J+C - We're certainly back to being excited about the build now that it's all moving along again!

That's an impressive sign

Aerial view of block:
Zoomed (wish I had a drone!!):

He he he yep! But lots of other councils seem to have a similar tool though, so may be of some use to others on the forum in different areas!
Just…

The other thing I found you can do is use the mapping service available on most council websites for Free (typically provided via IntraMaps) - the City of Swan one…

Here's some pics of the brickwork. Damn hard to work out how to take decent photo's of it all that make sense to everyone, so we just randomly snapped away…

Thanks Nikki! Glad the link works - I wasn't 100% sure how to embed the video into the thread!

So after 4 months or so since the slab went down, the brickies have arrived and the bricks are flying up!
Looks amazing to see this place coming out of the…

Hi Steve and Chelsea,
Very understandable - no point committing to the block if you’re not going to be able to build the house! We had the exact same concerns before…
