A funny thing happened tonight...

EBH email notifications a couple of times a day containing photos of your house from the onsite eye camera installed on your build site.  J had been receiving these emails every day when we had our camera on site.

Considering our camera was taken away last Tuesday he was surprised to receive an email containing a photo of "our house". However, it wasn't our house. The photo attached was of an excavated lot somewhere in Sydney.  The picture still had our job number and address on it, so it was obviously the camera taken from our site and installed at this site, but not re-programmed. 

I logged on to our Onsite-Eye and sure enough, there was this vacant lot complete with details of our build. 

It turns out, our camera was re-located to Fletcher.

Camera update

I emailed our SS today to ask him about our camera. Apparently when the camera was being installed, the contractors damaged a water pipe which has been leaking ever since, making the ground and the pole unstable. 

The plumbers repaired the pipe yesterday and our SS tells me that once the ground dries out the camera will be re-installed. 

Fingers crossed! I miss not being able to watch my house :(

Our camera is gone

This morning I logged on to our camera and was disappointed to find that it had not taken any photos since 1:14pm yesterday. 

When we drove past the house later in the morning, it was gone. Removed. No longer there.

It is so disappointing. We only had it for 2 weeks. 

Another day of bricking

Today is day 6. I am really happy with quality of our brickwork. Our bricklayer is doing a fantastic job (and yes, we only have one bricklayer working on our house). He thinks he will be finished by the end of the week.

The photos taken today aren't the best because of it was so bright but you can see how much he has done to date.

Bricking continued....

I took a drive past to see how much had been completed today. It looks fantastic....

While sneaking around the site to take these photos, I almost took a fall in the wet sludge on the building site from the brick clean from my neighbours house. It would have been a funny sight to see. I am just glad nobody was around. I didn't realise until the next morning that my shoes were completely covered in mud!

Here are some photos I took tonight - day two

Bricking has started

Our brickwork started today.

I think our bricklayer is doing an exceptional job.  He seems very meticulous. The work he has done so far appears to be clean and tidy. They didn't do a great deal (not that I know what to expect in a days work) but I am really happy with the quality of their work and I am more than happy to see them take a little longer if it means we are going to get a great job from them. I believe it is one bricklayer and his labourer (perhaps a father and son team).

Here are some photos from day one.

Our bricks have arrived

I drove past our house this morning to find the bricks being dropped on site. What a beautiful sight it was. Here's hoping that the sand and cement are delivered later today so that they can get started on bricking tomorrow.

The plumbers are also there this morning doing our rough in. I can see them inside the house, courtesy of the eye :)

We are good to go tomorrow....I am so excited!
