We have had so much rain the last two weeks, so I'm glad to see some progress again this week.

Looking awesome! That front feature window looks a-mazing!

The rain is really holding things up for everyone. Fingers crossed for some dry weather and quick progress.

Those front windows sold me on the whole facade I was not too sure about the corner window but when its bricked in it will look awesome

Its pouring again here now, lets hope its dry for morning.

Wow, it's looking great giggle smile. Your so lucky it is going by so quickly! At this rate you will have all your windows and bricks done in no time.

Sucks about the rain though, it's forecasted to rain everyday this month in Sydney.

P.S Your ensuite looks HUGE!

Yep we are in Wollongong and have the same forecast the roof gets delivered in a few days so hopefully when that goes on we can relax a little about the weather.

The ensuite is bigger than the main bathroom, but i figure Im paying for it why should the kids get the big bathroom, they just mess it up anyway lol

Ok i need some help The garage door colour saga is still continuing and I need to make a final decision on colour by Friday.

Our roof was meant to be finished last week, but the tradies decided to take 3 days off to go surfing so at the moment only the gutters are finished however the gutters, eaves & roof will all be the same colour Dune.

Do I?

A) Keep the garage door in shale grey, see the photo there is a sample next to the brick work or

B) Change my selections to Dune and keep it the same colour as the roof.

This is the only major decision i am really stuck on.

Would love your input

Belinda, I would go with Dune for the garage door. I, personally, wouldn't feel comfortable adding a different shade of grey into the facade.

Have/would/could you consider a Caoba garage door? A few hundred extra dollars, but it would look fantastic up against your bricks, and work really well with the Dune roof.

Thats what i am thinking aswell. I should have stuck to my gut instinct and not let the colour consultant change my mind in our meeting.

I have not seen Caoba doors. I think its too late to change the design, but i can still change the colour and paint used on the front of the house.

My spies tell me there are cars out the front this morning, so maybe i might have a roof by the end of the day

Giggle_Smile can you remind us of all the other colours on the exterior - apart for the Dune is there any other colour used anywhere else?

[giggle_smile]

Just white on the windows and paint trim is still to be decided.
