Starting to get Wrapped



We have been 1/2 wrapped in a nice Green Henley 5 star Energy Rated blanket! This thing material keeps moisture from reaching the wood and interior of the home and serves as protection and insulation from the brickwork as well. The house will be 2/3 wrapped in this blanket, then the brickwork will begin. As of now brickwork is scheduled to begin on September 10th however if he manages to make it on site before that date, we'll have an update for you. Bricklayer will go up 40 courses, or roughly the first level and then the Scaffold will be put up. Next the Fascia & Spouting (gutters) will be installed and the roof cover/tiles will be put on and then the bricklayer returns to complete the job. After that the detailed work inside begins, so we are looking for some busy times ahead. We'll update again when we've been fully wrapped and of course when the bricklayer starts, so watch this space!
