Omg i cant believe its almost done. That was really fast. Get the roomba. My aunt in law has one and i'm sold on it. Its cheaper than a cleaning lady although i'm getting one of those too lol I will make sure to posts heaps. I'm going to do a private blog once it starts i will remember to add you to it. Im trying to keep the family in the US in the loop and will add more pictures on the blog than I do here. There is a whole world of stuff you will still need to do after the house is done so its not over. I am kicking myself for not getting something smaller landwise. I know once its landscaped it will be less scary but right now its doing my head in. Decorate your home. It gives the illusion that your life is more interesting than it really is.

Re: Simmonds Villa Modena (FACADE HELP NEEDED !!) 47Aug 31, 2013 8:13 pm I think maybe I'd go for one less colour instead of both shale grey and pearl lustre. Or maybe that pearl grey upstairs, what is that a solid block for? Could it be a window?

That solid block is because they supposedly cant brick it but come monday I'm going to have some words because i think it looks silly. And i want a window in it.

I love your overall colour scheme, I personally love the garage door colour but i understand your feelings for wanting to change it. It does stand alone and doesn't tie in with anything in particular. Especially love your front door colour.

Door isnt quite right but it will be black we are having wrought iron doors made. Its a compromise because i hate the look of those security doors that go outside of your door and my partner is paranoid.... in australia.....and we have a security system........ and dogs.

The only worry is during construction, a few other threads on here have had windows smashed and things stolen. Sometimes it's a sad world we live in. Re: Simmonds Villa Modena (FACADE HELP NEEDED !!) 54Aug 31, 2013 9:20 pm Kaylajanexx Haha sounds like a plan. The only worry is during construction, a few other threads on here have had windows smashed and things stolen. Sometimes it's a sad world we live in. I've seen that although i just don't get how. Some of the things i have heard being stolen boggles the mind. I mean how does someone manage to walk away with a tub and no one notices. I'm from the US so I am almost giddy with the freedom I have in Australia I don't really see it as dangerous. Generally speaking if you are careful and don't do reckless things like wander through the bush at 2am alone you will be fine. So i don't get the whole paranoia thing I want to be like my mother in law leaving doors open for a nice breeze in the middle of the day. I would never do that in America EVER Decorate your home.

I had a bad case of baby brain, no one touched a thing and that was when I lived in a semi unfavorable area. I think NY thieves can feel when you accidentally leave your door open It is very safe here and I love how when things happen Australians get upset not just well its a normal day. I don't know where you are but here in Melb a girl was raped and killed and within a week a march was organized for her. In America she would have gotten a tiny article in the paper. The only ones that mourn are the family. This is just one of the reasons i love australia and wouldnt move if you paid me. Decorate your home.

Since my last post there has been a whole heap of changes particularly in the area of tap ware. The brand I originally choose has decided to discontinue the majority of my choices for the main bathroom which was FANTASTIC * note the sarcasm * So then I was told feel free to choose from our suppliers to which my response was your suppliers suck..... ok I didn't say that exactly but thats what I was thinking. After much back and forth and me about to loose it I was finally allowed to provide my own taps.
