Updated Post, but no pictures...

Hello again esteemed audience,

This week is a 'verbal' update of sorts as the weather over the weekend wasn't really conducive to go out and take pictures of the progress and much of the progress would probably be hard to discern from the previous post. We had some showers on Friday, so all of the work that was completed was done Monday through Thursday and there was a pretty good amount accomplished on the shortened week. Essentially, the 'other' side of the house was completed to about the height of the windows, all the way down. If you look at the last post from the previous week, the first picture there shows the brickwork just beginning to round the corner of that side of the house. From that shot, you can visualize bricks running all the way down to the height of the window and that was the majority of the work that was done. He also managed to brick up above the outdoor Alfresco, about 1/2 way up the second floor. This week, I would imagine (weather permitting of course) he will brick up the front to the height of the windows, then begin bricking the rest of the areas up to the top of the green wrap, which will probably take about 1.5 weeks in total. Once that is done, the scaffolding will be delivered and erected, the roof guys will show up to put on the roof tiles and the bricklayer will begin to brick up the walls to the garage. Rain or shine, there will be pic's this coming weekend as there should a a good amount of bricks to show by then!

Hi guys, looking good. Hope you are feeling okay with bub and all?
Hey what colour are your bricks? I know they are Selkirk, but couldn't work out the colour....

Can't wait to see more pics on the blog.
Thanks **Phoenix**
