Was surprised to see that the front of the house has been rendered! Not sure why, as they're tearing it down in the next few days. Surely a communication issue between the management and the tradies. Have to say that I'm liking the look. Will look even better when it's done properly and painted the right colour;
I could also see where the group building manager had done his inspection of the bricks and sisalation;
Noticed this as the insulation had been removed (presumably by the group building manager). How bad is that brickwork!
Looking at this and other photos it also occurred to us that this area should have sisalation on it and it clearly doesn't. Yet another issue - one we missed the first time around. Next time we'll be checking everything - twice.
Hi Nick.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog bia the homeone forum as we are looking at building a rochford too. I have a question regarding your external walls on the 1st floor. Did you have to pa extra for the 1st floor elevation b to be bricked. We are being charged 6k for to hve this bricked as the wall in this side is omly fibre cement. Is that right?
No, we didn't pay extra, but as I said in my reply to your other comment, this could be down to the facade you chose. We specifically went with one of the basic facades for the fact that we got a full brick build.
DeleteI personally don't like the idea of an external wall not being something solid like brick, but that's just me.
