DAY 90 - Garage Roller Door

We love the splash of rich warm colour that is the garage door :)

 It is an automatic roller door that we upgraded to get a “timber-look”.  This was to add more colour (and interest) to the overall look of the house.

I really didn’t want to end up with a boring, monochrome home… I LOVE houses that have more character and colour.  I was happy that PJ Burns allowed us (even though an entry level budget) to make choices that added simple elements within the “project home plan”, additions that didn’t cost us the earth… 

Eventually the front door and timber post will be stained to match the garage door. Also we will have horizontal slats above the front portico area also matching.  

(The section above the front window is a "custom orb" infill - a colourbond like product - that is in "Woodland Grey" - see the colours / design page)

I like… what do you think?

 Oh... for those that may want to see the inside (not as colourful or as interesting but still a necessary part of a "roller door" blog post)... here you go:

Speaking of DOORS...
I'd like to share a hallway / front doorway pic taken on Day 90...
(titled "path to sunshine")

Thanks for stopping by :)
Many more photos of the progress are just around the corner... 

Here's to new doorways!!!

Day 60 - a ROOF on top!

Catch Up Post #6 - 
Day 60 (Mon 28th June) -
A nice new colourbond ROOF is happening!!!

Sooo exciting to see the roof sheets go on... The colourbond roof colour is called "Evening Haze".



This photo is mr 7 in the door way of "his room"... 

The feeling of the space just keeps evolving as elements of the house are added / constructed... The wall frames made it a 3D experience.  Now, when standing in the various rooms/areas, the roof provides a lid above you...

WOW.... the Journey of building a house is definitely different to the experience of simply buying a new one... sorry to state the obvious lol :) just trying to put into words how this process feels... waiting... watching... evolving... anticipation growing... learning a great deal as we go...

I am having lots of moments that make me think of the TV advert for colourbond roofing (shown in QLD sometime in the past 24 months) .  The main character of the advert is seen standing outside in his underwear because he dashed out to pick up his newspaper and got distracted gazing admiringly up at his colourbond roof... hehe - I may not be out in only my underwear but I am definitely distracted and excited by the significant event of our ROOF going on!!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeee :))))))))))
