Hi cuties, someone asked me how Amy and Steve’s house was coming along. Well this week the internal brick feature walls went up. Love Chris


1. View looking to lounge wall and side wall of fibre-glass filling the gaps at the entrance.
2. Close up of lounge wall before brickwork.
3. Brickies putting up bricks
4. Front entrance brick wall.
5. Both walls finished.

P.S. The whole house has been painted and the floorboards are down. They have yet to be stained but will be done when all the inside trades are finished.

I love the brick walls. Brick layers are almost a trade of the past. I wonder what is on the other side of the brick wall. The construction looks so professional. Before you know it the house will be ready for them. Thanks for showing us the progression of the house.

Gee they are lucky that they are not in Sydney as all work may have stopped on the house if they were in a Hot Spot area.
I would be nervous that it could all come to a halt overnight.

House is looking good.

Hi Barb, yes, I know, it's horrendous, I'd hate to be waiting on my home to be finished if I lived down there. Love Chris

Beautiful feature. I'm glad things are progressing for them. It's really beginning to look like a house now. I'm enjoying seeing the progress, and I am sure they are also.

Yes, it does look really good. Steve, bless his heart has saved all the floorboards and made the treads for the stairs, the support etc. should be going in next week and then the tiler can go upstairs to do the two bathrooms. He's done the laundry downstairs, but not the ensuite which is attached to the guest room (mine and Trev's when we stay) Love Chris

Yes, it's looking fabulous. I can't wait to see all the goodies in there. They've got the kitchen, tiles, white goods, fireplace, etc. to go in yet! Love Chris

Are they on schedule? I keep thinking what we say in America, fish and visitors smell after three days. I know you love them, and this is a special opportunity for quality time, but... are they on schedule with the house? Tee hee.
