I guess we'll have to see it in real before deciding whether to keep it that way. Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 443Feb 03, 2017 11:04 pm beac_faith Another email from SM came through with more photos. It looks like our stairs have been stained, but it looks lighter than what we expected. Not sure if that's the final colour. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our FC infills are also done but they look like they're in surfmist instead of monument that we've chosen. Although it doesn't look that bad in surfmist.

I don't mind the surfmist infills, nice contrast against your dark bricks.

This time the facade is seen under the sunlight. Suddenly the rendered pier looks more chocolate than expected. We were hoping it to be more of a greyish brown. We were quite happy when we first saw it from our SM yesterday (but that was without the sun shining on it). I guess I could learn to live with this chocolate, too late to do anything now but hubby absolutely hates it what does everyone think?

Did you determine if your stairs will get another coat? Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 448Feb 04, 2017 2:24 pm Have you seen the pillar yet (or just a photo?)? It is definitely a chocolate colour. Do you think filters have been used on the photo that may have changed the colour a little? Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 449Feb 04, 2017 2:30 pm Easy enough to paint over the render if he really hates it. Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 451Feb 04, 2017 3:07 pm Agree with your hubby, too chocolate brown. Paint it Monument to add dramatic contrast while still tying in with your scheme.

Easy to paint over and not too big an area.

Kicking myself for wanting to add another colour to the facade and it's gone wrong. We haven't seen the house yet, will be back from our holidays in 4 days. Hopefully it doesn't look that bad in person. Bubbaganoosh, still waiting to hear back from SM if our stairs will get another coat. Vantage, thanks for the photoshopped pic I showed that to hubby and he thinks monument looks way better. Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 456Feb 06, 2017 2:03 pm Received an email from SM this morning. Our stairs have had two coats and they will be getting a final coat in the next weeks. The biggest piece of news is.. we have an approximate date for handover. 10/03!!!

You have a month to pack and get everything organised. It's interesting to see your SM emails you... mine is only reachable via mobile. He said for anything via email it goes to the site office and they in-turn route the info to him.

Yeah our SM actually emails us through our building support coordinator, who types the email on his behalf never directly.
