Thankyou! Our bricks are called canyon & I believe window seals ect are woodland grey. Unsure of roof tiles but I can look back over our selections paperwork and let you know

Your house is amazing Cleo!

I don't think there is a part I don't like.

Thankyou everyone

we are happy with how it's coming along!
The orchids were a gift from my work, they were just from our local florist here in SA. I'm sure other florists would stock them to

Hey Guys,
Popped in to check out everyone's threads & thought I'd drop some photos in here to while I'm here

Everything pushing along and our list of things to do is getting smaller.. woohoo!
We had a pool installed just over a week ago so that's yet to get fencing & concreting.
Gardens are starting to green up.
Will try post some inside pictures tomorrow if I remember

Hope everyone's had an awesome Christmas & even better new year

Oh my! that outdoor area that you guys have created is soooo good. Would you mind sharing how much did it cost you guys to build that outdoor area?

Thank you

The structure itself. We are building Bolton with Simonds home and decide not to go with them as they wanted 8k more for the alfresco. *crazy price!*

We paid $14k from memory which is the cool deck style, my partner put it up and our electrician did the downlighting at the same time. We did upgrade the gutters to a better profile look. The pillars and walls are seperate again & we did that ourselves with blue board!

the only think we haven't done ourselves throughout the establishing is concreting.

Worth that money i think! The Alfresco we were suggested were just the concrete flooring instead of dirt. Not sure if that worth 8k! Well done! it look sooooo good!!!

Thankyou

everything is so much much money.. by the end I was saying to my partner really? $200 for a container of screws?

ours is concrete floor but I want to get it polished as I can't decide on a tile to lay.
Best of luck with your build, it can be good fun at times

Our Avalon had a small alfresco included (4m x 4m) but we added double that size again (4m x 8m) on the house slab and it was only $13k. Now we have 48sqm alfresco. We thought that was good value

You did an awesome job Cleo!

Ours is 73sqm and a b*tch to keep clean. Haha! Yours is still a really good size, unfortunately with such big blocks everything has to be big or it looks silly!
