Our neighbours do have the same roof tiles - good eye, Thorney. Their bricks are a creamy colour from what I can see, so I'm not very worried. I think our houses will compliment eachother nicely. My DP's comment was "I wish everyone had the same tiles! They're awesome!" and his opinion was what I was most worried about - he is quite fussy about the external colour selections (moreso than me! I was more worried about the internals). Our new home is about a 15 minute drive in the opposite direction to work for either of us, so it's hard to convince the other half to go have a looksee - he isn't nearly as exciteable about the house as I am. He claims he'll be excited when we're in and it's ours. And its not as much fun going by yourself - there's noone to scream "OMG WE HAVE ......" to. So, happy to wait til weekends and go with him. Though, don't know if I'll be so strong when doors, kitchens and bathrooms start going in. Esp. if they lock up too well and I can't get in on weekends! I dunno if our builder is just super slow, but that was their official date - I'd love to be in sooner but I won't hold my breath. My SS said he's overseeing 15 houses in my STREET. New developments, hey? Ah that's good that you and your neighbour don't have the same bricks....you wouldn't want two identical houses next to each other! LOL!! yup my DH isn't as excitebable about the build as me either! He has not enjoyed the process at all, up until this week when things really started happening. Oh l love going up to my block by myself...all could sit there all day and just watch! DH and kiddo's never want to ogle at it as long as l do 15 houses in the one street well that explains the date somewhat. At the end of the day, as long as you get a quality build then that's all that really matters Interesting. You have great clearance to damp proof course all the way around which is rare with so many cowboy landscapers and concreters.
