My latest development - 4 dwellings in Melbourne

[MTR]

This made me laugh for several minutes

With barely any rain over the last 12 days I am nearly at lock up. Loving it!!

So no such thing in Melb with regards to best time to build??

I thought if one started in September that would be ideal??? Should get at least 4 months of reasonable weather??

September is generally wet. Best to start around November through to May.

September has been wet alright! The constant rain and the recent wild winds have really slowed down building; especially when the next two trades are your roof plumber and renderer

Still, all the brickwork is now finished. Pretty good job too. The front unit also had the dutch gable completed, which looks nice. I love dutch gables!

The lower level roof tiles are on site as well ready to go.

All that rain we had must have made it across the Nullabor. We had our wettest September in decades.

Looking good Oscar.

I hear the "hot summer this year" line every year

It has been wetter and cooler than normal for this time of the year.

It always rains in spring - hence the term "spring rains" - and will continue to rain on and off till xmas.

It's normal

I'm going off the last few years when i have been building at the same stage. Not normal. The rains started later than usual too.

Anyway, the render is finally finished

 

[oc1]

Well there been a big push in getting this one done and dusted. There's about 2 weeks worth of work left. So by the end of January it should all be wrapped up.

Painting and tiling is finished. Most of the plumbing fit off is done. Just a few toilets and vanities left to fix.

Driveway was going to be poured but have left it for mid Jan. The hot weather turned me off pouring this week.

I'll upload some photos later. It's coming up pretty nice.

Awesome work Oscar - look forward to the pics!

 

[westminster]

I'm looking forward to the pictures. Pouring in milder weather is a lot nicer - I hope you get some good mild weather in mid Jan for it.
