Bricks!

I never thought I'd get excited about bricks, but I definitely did when ours started getting laid. Har har har.

They laid one layer of bricks down first, and then installed our termite protection (well, termite barrier), and then laid the rest of the bricks above that.




These brickies were very thorough and skilled. We were impressed!


Me checking out the progress. This part did not happen quickly. We were impatiently watching the bricks gain bit by bit up the wall.


The garage wall nearly there.


The lower storey complete.
 

This is in the little balcony above the front door.


The alfresco.


Bricks all the way to the roof.

With the external walls in place, it was now time to turn our attention inside. See here for our solution for insulating the house.
