Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 269Aug 12, 2015 8:09 pm na im just doing a ball park fig... myt be earlier hopwfully not later... yeh for sure im sure well see eachother very soon neighbour. Cant wait to start building.. Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 270Aug 12, 2015 10:15 pm I'm going to throw and spanner in the works and say I really like it how it is. The softer render colour on the sides goes nicely with your brick colour. I do agree with ilaeria though, if it's not what you wanted, then make them fix it, it's your house, I can understand why you want it changed though, having the colours reversed would make a huge impact on your front facade.

Yeah i agree it looks good this way too and i was intially worried bout the dark colour hitting the light bricks. Our fence will come up to that point and the plan is to fully render the house later on. Its a tough call but i think i just have to go with our gut feeling and go with original choice and hope it looks just as good or better. The display at ormeau was all chocolate and we really liked it. Its just annoying that i am stressing about this now. If they just did it right the first time i wouldn't have seen the other way and be doubting myself haha Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 272Aug 13, 2015 10:28 am Go with your gut and get them to fix it then. You're entitled to what you originally chose. Fingers crossed they can fix it to a good standard.

I think I know the display your talking about and it does look very good. Good luck with getting it sorted agf, hope your ss isn't a pain in the butt. Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 274Aug 13, 2015 12:12 pm Thanks ladies. Yeah ill have to check it out on the wknd, as i know the SS won't call me and tell me whats going on. Really not happy with the communication from plantation during the construction stage. Re: Building the Plantation Retreat Nouveau Q1 at Logan Vill 276Aug 14, 2015 7:18 am I went to the house this morning and happen to run into him. They have re-painted the front. I think i am happy. I am now comparing the two in photo collage apps, haha im crazy. There was someone there today doing the timber cladding so I'll go back this afternoon and take photos once that is done.

The correct version has a more inviting entranceway I think with the lighter pillars - the wrong one seems a bit dark around the door. But the overall impression of both of them is good. So on balance I think you were right to get them to fix it Always trust your gut!

The re-paint is def much better. As Ilaeria said - it makes the entrance more inviting and grand having the pillars lighter.
