OMG! It all happened so fast! I can't believe that's all in a couple of weeks - it looks like a house already haha

You must be so excited!

Thanks H and saz. Yes, very exciting. Forgot to take a pic before it got dark, but our wooden portico posts are in too.

Will take a pic in the morning.

Speeding along

saz1980 · Oct 11, 2017 9:55 pm

I can't believe how much they've done already :shock:

The bricks looks great with the roof

KatrinaH · Oct 11, 2017 10:09 pm

Mmm, we feel that the bricks are making the roof look very blue. It's monument.

Hoping that it will look more black/grey when it's all done.... maybe.

saz1980 · Oct 11, 2017 10:41 pm

I think they look great! That said - I don't think we are going to love our bricks either. We went with the best choice of what we had on offer, we didn't even like any of the upgrades. I figure worst come to worst we can render later on :lol:

KatrinaH · Oct 11, 2017 10:46 pm

Nah, love the bricks, not loving the colour the roof is throwing.

saz1980 · Oct 11, 2017 10:52 pm

Hope it comes together at the end and you like it! Can you spray paint a colourbond roof if you really don't like it?

KatrinaH · Oct 11, 2017 10:53 pm

Lol. That's what hubby said. I think it would be cheaper to just learn to live with it.

saz1980 · Oct 11, 2017 10:54 pm

Definitely cheaper :lol:

You aren't going to be spending much time standing outside staring at it anyway!

KatrinaH · Oct 11, 2017 10:55 pm

True. And we're planning a flyover that will slope up away from the house on the side that we will use the most, so probably won't even be able to see much roof at all.

A bit of progress with the bricks today. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅

That looks awesome!! Gee, they get a wriggle on.

KatrinaH · Oct 12, 2017 7:21 pm

They sure did. They look really brown in these pics, but in real life they're gorgeously black.
