Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Doing it again 221Nov 06, 2016 7:32 pm My internal doors & frames are Solver Dhimba - a warm white. The walls probably won't be painted for at least 12 mths after i move in. The front door will be surfmist. Out the front, the main render colour will be Solver Nomad Beige with Summer Fire on the portico. Gutters & fascias will be basalt to match the roof.

Really love the idea of the roller door off the back of the garage. Floor tiles are gorgeous!! Everything just looks so good together. Hi Dawn, Thanks. According to my ss pci won't happen until after the new year which would actually suit me quite well 'cos my lease here isn't up until 20 Feb Would you believe the roller door was cheaper than a regular door & is wider. Also more functional. Only problem is that because i didn't raise the ceiling height of the garage i don't have as much headroom - ok for me as i'm short ? i'm loving my floor tiles & all my other choices.
