Bricks started & Roof nearly complete!

The bricks were started nearly two weeks ago but for some reason the brickies haven't been back since last week. I'm wondering if it's because they were waiting on the roof tilers to finish their work before continuing on with the bricks. None-the-less, we are super happy with how it's coming together. The bricks look great with the black contrast in the windows, gutters and now roof tiles.
The roof tilers started Wednesday with the prep, yesterday tiles started going on and today they are nearly finished. Below are some photos of the house from around 4:30pm this afternoon.
They still haven't rectified the issues with the frame yet (A few broken pieces and pantry door installed opposite side), hopefully they plan to sort it out before plaster goes up.

A lot is happening

I planned to post photos of the frame this morning but I ran out of time. It's lucky I didn't because I went around this afternoon and since my last update we now have a frame that has also been wrapped, windows and stacker doors installed, bricks delivered and roof tiles delivered. We can really get a sense of the house now. My guess is they will start the roof next week, maybe not the bricks because that delivery wasn't expected for at least a week or so. Pretty happy so far. The only complaints we have is a couple of the wall frames have a little damage from installation, but I'm certain they will fix them up as there will be another inspection before the release of the frame progress payment. So it's looking like we'll be at lock-up stage sooner rather than later :-)

So here is where it's at:
