Don't breath in Asbestos Re: Switch Homes Ten70Mod - Waiting for Colourbond to arrive 13Sep 08, 2010 6:13 pm Sounds like we are both at a similar stage. Our Colorbond is due to be delivered sometime in the next couple of days. The electrician is booked for tomorrow and the Colorbond is supposed to go on next week. Not sure if this rain will hold things up or not.
