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 78 to Day 83 - Build my home!

Catch Up Post #16 -

Day 78 - Day 83 (Fri 16th - Wed 21st July) -
not too much to say but some pics to show...

First - a "sweeping view" of the living area / dining room
(standing at side of kitchen area)

 Next - here are several other photos
to give the current perspective of the build...

~ looking into one of the kids bedrooms ~

 ~ wall of the main bedroom ~  
See the 2 wires sticking out for the 2 x feature wall lights (to be above the bed)???  They are just above white plaster join - well they worry me - they need to be in just the right spot so it doesn't look off centre... hmmm... I hope we get it looking alright...

 ~ looking out a window in the media room  ~

 ~ the media room electrical point / holes ~
(I know, I know - thrilling stuff :)))

 
 ~ the main bedroom light switch wires / hole  ~
(looking out of the bedroom to the kitchen space)

 ~ power point holes in the study nook  ~

 ~ the Laundry area awaiting the basin / shelving ~

  ~ water pooling ~
(can you see the alfresco post?)

       ~ more water pooling ~                                        ~ and reflecting the trees ~

Anyway, there you go...

Due to this being our record of the building journey - even the less exciting elements like photos of power point holes, are documented in these posts...
 In spite of this, I hope something in each post may still be of interest for those of you reading this!?...  

Oh well, at the very least, it is a real depiction of building - where you can easily find yourself getting ridiculously excited over the smallest bits of progress - simply because it is PROGRESS.... moving forward IS GOOD!!!!  
(Waiting, waiting & waiting will do this to you...)


If you are getting impatient to see more interesting photos... I'm with you!!!!


Bring on the "hugely exciting steps" just so I can share them :)
(and so we move in soon as possible :)

Cheers :)
