    Hi Guys
    This project is going very well, our team/contractors have been very busy and so far very pleased with the progress and quality.

    Will be ready to post something this week.

    I have been flat out working and off to Atlanta again in February.

    You nailed it!!

    I ran in to lingo problem

    Gyprock to dry wall
    Cornice to crown moulding
    Roof tiles to shingles
    Feet to meters

    And list goes on..

    What hasn't changed is amount of drama....

    What I like about it though - is turnaround time - 3-4 months for rehab and 8-12 months for 5 townhouses project.

    We have 5 TH project in US and even with drama - it's moving at speed I like

    Don't worry folks we are using professional contractors/builders they have their own insurance....

    It looks like the ladders aren't even tied on to the roof.

    Really shocking.

    Pretty steep too.

    Next photo update, the wall sliding should be completed.

    I will let you know if he made it. Just joking
