Progress........... well sort of

Well after some consultation and finally getting Mrs B's opinion I believe we have nailed the exterior colours.

The Garage Door will be Colorbond Ironside to match the bricks and the Front Door will be Dulux Manor Red. The reason for our choice is that we didn't want the garage door to be a feature and we wanted the front door to be that focal point. The other reason behind the darker garage door is that we will get away with the traditional profile door instead of the upgrade, which as we are starting to run out of money I have decided we need to prioritise and save some cash for those extras in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Tomorrow we venture out to confirm our carpet as well as look at tiles for the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry & toilet. After that we will drive past the concrete supplier and choose the colour for our veranda and alfresco concrete. I did want polished concrete but I would prefer the fancy garage door, so if I aint getting that I aint getting polished concrete.

As I said in an earlier post, sometimes what you want & what you can afford are not the same thing.

Later next week we will meet our cabinet maker to sort out our kitchen, bathroom, ensuite and laundry cabinets and benchtops which will be the final selection we have to make. All we will have then is to watch our house rise up from the ground.

Another significant event this week was that the sale of our current house went unconditional which allows us to modify our mortgage so we can pay for construction.

Its all coming into place, just hurry up and build the.............................. well you get the idea!
