BRICKS DELIVERED & GRANITGARD INSTALLED

You may have seen from my last post that our bricks were delayed by about 2 weeks. Our SS has been great with the weekly updates. You can’t really get annoyed as firstly, it’s beyond his or Wisdom’s control. If there were any more further delays, than I may have to start letting out some steam. But I think we are pretty relaxed - for now!

DELAY IN BRICKS

We received a phone call and email from our SS on the 2^nd April advising us that Austral is unable to supply the bricks until the 16^th. Eldric was surprised that I took it well despite the fact that we now face delays. The truth is, I have actually started second guessing our brick choice – long before we were told of this brick issue! You see, a few weeks ago, we drove around the estate and many of the houses have used Austral bricks in Blackbutt or PGH Bricks in Espresso (equivalent of each other). It made me think that all the houses in the estate are going to look very similar! It was actually The estate’s requirement to have dark face bricks, hence many have chosen the two I have just mentioned. Blackbutt was unavailable due to supplier demand – which just proves how popular this brick is!
