Porch is up...wall is done...garage door is on

We popped over today to have another look at our new home. There has been a lot of progress over the last couple of weeks.

The last time we were there the wall was half done. There was another half metre or so to go. The garage was still the raw breeze block on the exterior and no garage door on yet. The porch over the front door wasn't up either. All these things are now done. The garage door is on and the breeze blocks have been rendered. The wall is up and really looks good. It finishes off the backyard nicely. Weirdly enough it actually makes the yard look a bit bigger, although you would expect it to make it feel a bit more cramped.

Below are some pictures of the before, I unfortunately didn't take any photos today to show the after, but will do so the next time we go round. Talking of the next time we go round, we have been told we should be able to go into the house then for the first time! Really looking forward to that.

In the above picture, to the right of the front door and to the left of the safety barriers is the start of the porch. And on the right of the photo is the garage without a door and showing the bare breeze blocks. This has now been finished off and it looks great.

The picture above shows two of the walls in the backyard. The taller wall is to the side of property and has been built up to around the height of those bricks just laying on top. The back wall, to the right on the photo, is finished off with a wooden fence panel (I think to a height of 2m)
