Some Disappointment About the Roof

Most of the jobs our site supervisor had organised for the week happened but towards the end, it got delayed.  The cleaning of the bricks was on Saturday and when we drove by at around 9.30am, the man was almost finished blasting the bricks clean.  The thin film that covered the windows washed off, too.  And suddenly, the house looks more lively.  We did, at one point, wonder if the windows had the glazing we added.  Fortunately, once we looked had a look inside, one could hardly tell there was anyone inside.

The scaffolding was adjusted on Monday.  On Tuesday, the carpenter was supposed to trim the frames for the fascia and gutters.  I'm not sure if it happened on that day.  However, the first delay in the week happened on the Wednesday, when the fascia and gutters were supposed to have been finished already.  Mum said she saw someone come down and have a look and then he left in less than 10 mins.  Sure, there were forecasts of rain but it only drizzled at 3pm.

Yesterday, we drove by the site after picking the kids up from school and the gutters and fascia were completed!  How inobservant of me to not realise that fascia weren't made up of wood anymore!  Mum liked our colour combo externally.  Shame though that Von and I didn't notice (nor were we made aware) that the area above the garage is not bricked up.  Considering we have a brown door, perhaps we could simply paint that area close to the wooden colour?

Today, work was not carried out again.  That's two days in one week.
