Windows and Bricks

Well the house is powering along... literally! It's only been 6 weeks since the foundations were marked out and we now have half a house (well the external bit anyway)! In the last week the roof trusses have been finished, the facsia and guttering has gone on, the 'alfresco' dining area now has a frame, we have windows, and the brickwork has started!

By the end of the week all the brickwork should be finished, early next week the bricks will be bagged, by mid next week the tin should be on the roof, and by end of next week we will be at lock-up stage.

Of course this is all dependent on the weather... And as our luck would have it we have gone from drought to snow. Yes it has snowed this morning.

The house from the front with the french doors, windows and the brickwork on the left of the house half way up.

And thought of you two.

At least the fat couples waiting to adopt and being kicked off makes you guys closer to your baby, right?

I have checked out your blog from the comfort of my own home!
How exciting!! Things are moving fast with the house. Let's hope that it's not too much longer until you get to bring home your beautiful daughter.
