I'm only waiting for council approval and then it will be all systems go. Very interested in your thread. Will have to get my own started too.

He was working all weekend. And it was very hot here in SA today! So does he realise he was going to be a web forum "spunk of the month" ? "spunk of the month" I better not let the old man see this comment. You know what happens when someone makes a comment like that about you. PCI Done Re: Jose27 Home in SA - We have lock out! 87Nov 11, 2009 7:45 pm Second fix carpenters (who were also our first fix carpenters) arrived today and put up some of our doors. So, as you guessed - we have been locked out as of today. Also arriving were the skirting and architraves As dear Henry did not take the camera with him today - we have no pics to post PCI Done Re: Jose27 Home in SA - Pics from outside looking in :-( 88Nov 12, 2009 7:56 pm Second fix carpenters were busy little bees today. Garage door. The doors are the same through out the house except they do not have the trilock.

Thanks seeking solutions. Our house is taking shape quite quickly and I must say that your reno is looking good. Where abouts are your reno's up to? The roof is Surfmist, Dune facias, Dune gutters and White windows. The roof throws different colours in pictures at different angles. I think the sun plays a big part in the colour changes or maybe all the black roofs around us make the colour change (neighbors on both sides of us have a black roof and the one across the road has a black roof) We are surrounded by black roofs.

We have found the same with our roof it looks totally different on cloudy days than it does on a bright sunny day.

Re: Jose & Henry's Home by the water. 97Nov 17, 2009 8:01 pm evelyng Hi Jose, everything is coming along so quickly. Looks great ! Painting next ? Thanks evelyng. Yes things are coming a long. The kitchen arrives at the beginning of next week I am biting my fingernails while I wait to see it. I picked the kitchen colours without actually seeing one built. I chose things that I liked and wanted so I'm hoping that it all works out. There is no tiler in sight as yet and no painting as yet either. I am thinking that the joy of Xmas and the lack of tradies is going to make the next couple of months sloooow.
