Another update on the building site next door...

In the last week there has been quite a variety of tradesmen working on the site...
At the beginning of the week I heard a strange sound coming from next door. When I looked out a window I saw that Brad and a young tradesman were dragging sliding glass doors along the flooring of one of the new houses, and taking the doors around to the front of the complex... That was also the day that we had some rain showers...



Every day of last week, the site was a 'hive of industry' and today I did a walk around the perimeter of the property taking photos of the results of all that busy busy week.
Quite a number of  windows have now been installed

One of the 2 houses close to our fence now has a very smart back door...

 If you look closely at the photo above, you can see electrical cabling that has been installed...and as well as electricians, the plumbers have also been back working on the site. In the next photo we can see the pipes from the bathrooms upstairs on the third level...

And more electrical cabling as well...

Now I have walked around to the front of the property, and we can see the sliding door to the little front balcony...

Another front view...

And another photo taken further along the front footpath...
Most of the houses are 3 levels but 2 have only 2 levels and look incredibly small; next time I will try to get a photo showing all the elevations...

Towards the end of the block, 2 of the houses have rather swish front doors...


This is at the end of the block and the largest house in the complex at 161 square metres...

The block of land is a triangular shape and this is the view as you drive/walk up the hill...

Something that I'm not too happy about is the fact that the footpath is still blocked by materials from the site. After speaking to elderly residents who find it a bit tricky I'm tempted to speak to the local councillor about this. 

 And our kerbing has taken a battering from the trucks driving into the street as well.
Chatting with the neighbours across the street after I took these photos, they predict that this week the roofs will go on. If so, we will have the mobile crane here for just about a whole day and it will be very interesting to watch!! lol

Wont be too long now and they will be finished. I would report the issues about the footpath - but especially the kerbing - they need to fix it before they vacate otherwise it could be years til the council do it.
Thsnks for the update
