Bricks Installation Day 5 (Klinker Montage Tag 5)

I went today in the building site to check on the bricklayers. Normal schedule is that they are going to continue and finish the brick laying today. They mentioned that they will be finished at 11 am. I brought coffee for them. I also put back some insulation materials on the walls and ceilings that hubby needs to take-off during the electric cables intallation. At around 11 am, they were really finished. They were just cleaning-up around and disabling the scaffolding. Before they left, the leader of the troop read and let us sign the documents stating that everything was delivered, properly installed, the building site was left clean and no major damages made on the building site/house. This is how our house looks like now...

Bricks just arrived! (Unser Klinker ist da!)

This morning FIL and I went to the water company and rented an equipment that we will use in order to be able to get water from the streets. We need to pay a lot for that. This should have been avoided if the water company Hr. F was professional enough to accomodate our request. It has been 5 months ago since we applied for our water installation gosh!!!! It is indeed so frustrating. Anyway, there's nothing more we can do but to be prepared for our bricks installation.

We arrived back home at around 11:15 am and passed-by the building site. SURPRISE!!! The bricks were already there. I feel so excited! I've been waiting for this moment since our house was built. Here are some pics...

In the afternoon, one of the workers who will install the bricks was also on the building site in the afternoon. He mentioned that they will start at 8 am on Monday and they will not be able to finish it in a week. I wish, hope and pray that the weather will cooperate... at least not raining so hard.

Wiring the Doorbell (Loch/kabel für Klingeltaster)

Before our bricks arrive, there are some pre-requisites that we would like to accomplish. For example, the electric cables for the lamps in the terrace and carport side, the sockets outside and the wiring for the doorbell. These things should be ready before the bricks arrive.

For the doorbell, they said the norm high for the hole is about 130 to 160 cm from the foot line of the door. We decided to make the hole to 140 cm.

This is the view of the cables from the outside terrace door. The upper portion are for the lamps and the lower right is intended for outside socket.

Our Bricks will soon arrive yipee! (Unsere Klinker können kommen!)

We received a call from the company who will install our bricks. They gave us a tentative schedule of 17 and we are just so excited for it. If the weather will cooperate on those days then they will pursue the schedule. The bricks should be delivered end of next week. I can't wait to see our house finished from the outside... naja... almost :)
