Week 9, Day 57 - Roof On & Sliding Doors In

This week saw the roof go from a frame to fully completed in a matter of 3 or 4 days.

It's amazing how different a colour can look when it's viewed as a whole piece rather than a tiny colour-chip.  I think it looks a lot lighter than the samples - this is not such a bad thing :) but it seems to look different as the light changes.  We are so pleased that we've gone with the tin roof, a nice clean look and hopefully one that will keep the possums out!

The sliding doors in the rumpus room and dining room were also installed this week, so we've been testing out the "breeze-factor" having them wide open after all this hot weather we've been having.

We were a little surprised to see that the plumber had been this week to run the pipes throughout the house, and that the plaster and cornices had been delivered along with the external doors.

We met the guy who will be installing the hebel panels on Friday afternoon.  He said they are due to start towards the end of next week, and going well, it should only take around 4 days to complete.

I guess it won't be too long until it's at lock-up stage!

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.
