Scaffolding down!

The scaffolding has just been taken down, and we now have a much clearer view of the house!  It's looking a bit bare at the moment, but the garage roof will provide some visual relief to all those bricks.

I ran into the site supervisor today, it's the first time I've met him.  When he mentioned he was ordering the caesarstone benchtops I asked him if the benchtops would go in to the reveals and meet the window, and he said he thought they weren't!  So it turned out it was the right decision to have this added explicitly to the contract.  The CSC I spoke to said that they always put the benchtops into the window and there was no need to mention it in the contract, but I asked for it to be added explicitly as a variation.

Once the SS had checked the contract he agreed it was supposed to be that way, and said the kitchen window had been placed too high and said they will lower it so it matches the height of the benchtop.  It only needs to be lowered a few cm but I imagine even that will be difficult, especially now that the bricks and plaster are all done.

House from the front left.  The meter box is for next door.

A bit closer.  The white door is the internal garage door.

The facade close up.  The pier on the right will be rendered, and there will be balcony railings up the top.

The back of the house.  That's a lot of bricks.

Inside we've got the side of the stairs covered now.
