Re: Metricon Savannah 34 build 42Dec 24, 2016 12:36 pm deepugjacob That's a great relief mate!!!! Cat 4 is way above my budget and your bricks look great!!!! Yeah I hear you man. Cat 4 prices are ridiculous. The Blackbutt does look really good. And yeah it's a bonus that it's only Cat 2. What other bricks are you considering btw? Have you been to the display yard as yet?

Hey mate I was thinking of pepper or chiffon..... haven't been to their yard . Will be going by mid Jan Re: Metricon Savannah 34 build 44Dec 25, 2016 6:08 pm deepugjacob Hey mate I was thinking of pepper or chiffon..... haven't been to their yard . Will be going by mid Jan Chiffon was my fave but my wife didn't like the metallic-ish finish it has. There's a place nearby that was done with Chiffon or something very similar and it looks great. I'll try to get a couple pics when they start laying our Blackbutt bricks, and I'll also snap some shots of the place round the corner with the Chiffon bricks for your reference. Might help you decide which way to go.

You are the best Heya mate I managed to snap a pic of the house with the Chiffon looking bricks for you. I had to take it incognito from inside my car so as not to look like I was casing the joint.

Good choice sir! The Blackbutt colour has really grown on me after seeing it up close on our block. Chiffon is still nice, but it's no longer my fave.

If you don't mind me asking , what type of mortar joints have you used and what roof colour have you chose ? Did you use sarking ? Is sarking really expensive?
