The bricks have started.

We had quite a bit of progress in the past week. The roof is nearly finished, just a couple of small pieces to go on.

The builders have been working on the front portico and installing the cavity doors for the games room and theatre room.

And the brick layers have started. We had a hard time choosing the brick we wanted and we still weren't sure and hoped we made the right decision, but we are really happy with how the bricks look. The brick layer said between him and the person helping him it will take 3 to 4 weeks to finish. We are really pleased with the job he is doing and have been told by quite a few people that he is the best brick layer in Hamilton!

The bricks starting to go up on Friday 26/4/13

You can see from the below picture how long the house is. It was taken from the garage and the window down the end is our bedroom window.
