Well it turned out to be a lovely day in the end today after 40mm of rain last night and this morning. And guess what? The water tank is full and the detention tank is half full. That means that with the new roof we get 1000 gallons for every 10mm of rain.
The black pipe you see above is the temp down pipe that the project manager did today - we are not sure why there was one down pipe not installed. As you can see the new drainage systems are helping alot - just this little puddle here really - and that's really just from dips from where the pipes were laid, and the earth has compacted now with the rain and also all the workers drive and park around here.The garage doors are in - they look nothing like I thought they would so I was quite surprised. They look pretty cool - and now we are closed up!
So much so that we went to go over to have our coffee tonight and we tried the front door - locked, then the west wing door - locked, we tried the garage door (ranchslider) - locked. Finally we found a ranch-slider open. It was so warm in there tonight.
So - the bricks are all done and so are the posts - they look pretty good hey.
Inside some of the architraves have been done and some of the skirtings, and all of the downlight holes have been made in the ceilings.
This is the single garage.

It is getting so close now. I guess the Bro will be happy that it was nice and cosy warm over there tonight.
I love the port o c thingy (the covering at the front door.
Glad you called it a Portico - Dad called it that and up until then we had not got a name for it - so yay.
