Check the site yesterday morning before work and found no one at site. Drove over to site again after work expecting that nothing have been done BUT... to my surprise, roof tiles have all gone up in 1 day. What the.... :D
Might see brick work soon.
This will be our first time building a house. After detail comparision between Metricon and Adenbrook home we ended up going with the Whittaker offered my Metricon as has the best layout for what we wanted! Our 540m block of land has a frontage of 18m by 30m depth. And this is our built story...

Frame done and gutter and facia finished
Went to check site on Friday to find the gutter facia is finished. They have been very productive this week and finished putting up all the timber frame.
Roof tiles have already been delivered and will go on next week. I guess probably brick will go on the week after.

Roof frame almost done
Hey guys, haven posted the last few day because I have been finished work after dark I couldn't take much photos. The trades have been working hard on the roof frames the last few days. The didn't work on Monday but they got stuck into framing on Tuesday and again yesterday. Yesterday I tried to get on site to take some photo and was very surprised that the boys were still working on the frame at 6pm. It was pretty much dark and they were still going so big thumb up to them for their hard work. I check the site today to see that they are back on deck tiding off the frame work this morning. I think they r trying to finalize the frame soon so that we can move on to the next stage.
This was the only photo i took yesterday. I didn't want to let them know I was there. As u can see, the roof frame are pretty much finish and balcony is also up. There isn't much timber on the ground so i think they must be close to finishing the timber side of things. I think I saw some roof gutters on the floor so might even see some gutter soon.
Will post some more photo later if I can get on site this afternoon!

Last lot of Frames!
Went to site on Friday before work and found no one onsite. Check again last afternoon to find more frame has been delivered however no work has been done as schedual by SS.
I think this last deliver should be the last lot of frames to arrive. We should have all the frame on site now and all we need is for the framers to come back to put it up. Hope wether holds off for next week coz it has been raining all weekend.

1st floor frame finished
Went to check the site yesterday before work and found no one at site. Double checked again yesterday afterwork to find that worker has come in and tidy up the frame work. Not much difference is noted but i think they have done a few hours of work during the day adding a few more support. No frame has been delivered yet so hope to see roof frame delivered today for work to commence tomorrow. We will see later on tonight.
Oh, i notice that even some of the nails that Metricon uses has their logo on. LOL

1st floor frame up
It has been quite a busy day yesterday. I went to check the site at 7am before work yesterday to find that the 1st floor frame has been just delivered. Road was almost blocked off again...
I drove pasy last nite to check the progress of the frames on 1st floor and was very suprised that the floor joist, floor board and 1st floor frame has been almost completed. Our neighbour Paul said that the workers only left at around 4:30pm so they have been working all day yesterday to finish off the frames.
Tried to get upstairs to see the view on 1st floor but the access was locked at the stairs. Well have to wait and see next time with a proper visit with SS. Drove pass this morning to find no one on site. I'm guessing that the workers are waiting for roof frames to arrive before they can come back to finish off the frame so hopefully the roof frames will be delivered sometime today for work to commence again tomorrow.
