Bricks again

The frame was finished on Tuesday 23rd March 2010.
Wednesday they delivered more bricks.
Last week I called my local council to draw up driveway and pavement plans, and gas meter installation has been arranged through AGL. They said it'll probably take a month to install.

Second Floor Frame up, Garage Slab poured

Second floor frame is up, and almost all the windows.
The garage slab is in, so is the porch.
No further progress on the brick front, I think because they've used them all up and are waiting for more.

I hate rain

Rain is the enemy. Evil Rain. I hate you. How dare you come down in buckets on my new laminate floor! It's not even April yet! I see puddles on my new floor and I want to drown my sorrows in that small lake formed in the dip down the road.

I'll post pictures when I get some dry ones. I refuse to post images of my poor wet floor. What happened to 'a sunburnt country'? What's wrong with raining one suburb across? Or better, go rain on Melbourne. They expect crap weather.

To think I used to love rain. How could you do this to me?? When it poured buckets in movies I'd think "If only we got rain like that! The catchment area'd fill up. Maybe they'd ease water restrictions next summer..."

I feel betrayed.

On a separate note, went to visit the tiling place for a tour of the choices, and I drooled over the stone mosaics and luxury ceramic. Too bad I'm broke, can't upgrade anything.

Floor frame, more bricks, some stairs

Looks like a floor frame. More bricks, and have partial stairways on the side and back.

Someone accidentally pressed some strange button on the camera and it went nuts.

I think it's time to call the gas company and tell them we want to apply for gas on the street connection, eventually.

It rained on 2 days last week, not really poured but just drizzle but doesn't seem to have affected anything except for the bloody grass that needs mowing way too often.
