Week 8, Day 49 & 50 - Guttering on & Windows in

The guys were there all day Friday putting on the guttering and facia.  Such a fiddly job by the look of it!

Saturday saw the battens put on the roof frame and the windows installed.  We're both so glad we decided to go with Surfmist instead of white for the windows as it really is white enough, but just takes the starkness of the standard white away.  Most of the windows are covered with tape at the moment, hence the black!

Scott, hamming it up!

Facade & Exterior Selections

The facade we have chosen for our home is the Allandale, which was the most simple, classic style available for the Forestdale.  Coming from the old cottage style home that we had previously, we didn't really want anything too modern.

Scott & I couldn't find a single brick in the whole PD collection that we really liked!  Everything was too modern, or so far removed from our taste that we were pulling our hair out trying to come up with something that we both liked.  We decided to take up the Hebel offer and have the whole house rendered.  That way, we can stick with the neutral colours that we love and the house, although fully rendered, will have somewhat of a sandstone appearance.
