Day 56: Brick, Site Meeting with SS & Pre-Plaster Inspection.

The Brickies started work today, 2 of them. Was watching them for about an hour & I reckon they did a good job. I was informed by the SS that it will take them about 3 weeks to finish the brick work.




The Solar for the hot water has been installed.


Wall insulation has been installed.


Had a site meeting with the SS. I showed him all the issues New Homes Inspections found with everything up to frame stage.



This has to be fixed before brick/plaster are done. Brickies have started work & Plasterers are due to start tomorrow.


The Brickies has started work at front & side of the house & will reach this part of the house probably by end of the week/early next week.


Plaster is due to be started tomorrow but this has to be fixed first before they can start plastering.


Rob from New Homes Inspections came to do pre-plaster inspection late this afternoon. His verdict was the house is well built with not many defects.

There are only 4 additional items that need attention:-

1. The timber doorframe to the Front Entry had not had a sill flashing installed to it.
2. The stud behind the bathroom & ensuite shower bridge has been checked into by more than the allowable standard.
3. The chipboard flooring to support the heating unit has been installed directly down onto the tops of the truss bottom chords without the required bearer.
4. No sarking installed under the lower ends of the roof trusses, which top chords measure 6,770mm down their lengths.
