Internal plumbing has started in the house, and we had the delivery of bricks for the ground floor yesterday. The bricks are a lot lighter than what we remembered! I'm a little concerned, I'm hoping that they just need a good clean or maybe they will weather over time to get their honey look that I've seen. Just in time for those bricks I guess.

So we've been updated with the following schedule, lets see how that goes:. 16th: Stairs and fit out (?
