Reno #13
Slowly does it. Stonemason worked all day today, but very happy with the job. Day four on the chimney :) Looks stunning when the light hits it, and he's pointing it so they look like stacked rocks and it casts shadows as you walk or drive past. Some concrete sealer at the finish will bring the colours out more. He thinks by another seven working days he may have the chimney finished! Once the front deck is poured this week he can continue the stones up above deck height, and he has a pillar to do outside Marks bedroom window, and we then decide whether there needs to be one on the drive corner of the house.
The boys managed to get some of the rear wall clad on Friday and prepare the back deck for concrete next week... not sure what else they did except get the two end kitchen windows in and sweep lots of piles of rubbish into corners so Stuart had something to clean up today.

Well done! You're doing better on the updates than a certain Auckland couple :)
ReplyDeleteOr a certain Swampy couple?!! They've had their new vehicle two weeks and its not blogged!
DeleteIt's just a cheap car, not as exciting as a new house.
ReplyDeleteOi - how impolite to talk about someone behind their back! Update coming - its just some weatherboards - funnily enough they look quite similar to the ones above...
ReplyDeleteStone looks awesome mum! Very nice. When does the front gable go on? By the way a blog update on the car would be good D&S...
Yes, some of us haven't seen any car or even heard of a colour..! But I won't get too into this conversation....
ReplyDeleteYes..! Stone looks awesome, will look even better on the internal face, arched above the range... 'stunning'.
Keep them coming, is very interesting.
Have to agree the updates from all family members are slow and infrequent myself included. Love the stone work looking good, maybe dad's man den needs some too? Keep the updates coming.
