Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 502Dec 10, 2017 1:25 pm Well piled up my left over bricks at rearof my block but barely any left over and half of them are half bricks or broken . Might be useful for some garden edging or similarif they dont dissapear Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 505Dec 11, 2017 11:00 am Entilzha i think i had a lot of damaged or unsuitable bricks so they went through most of the allowed wastage. Will take a photo of my pile of leftovers when on site next Can be We didnt have a lot if wastage/broken bricks Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 506Dec 13, 2017 9:16 pm Bricks washed and more work done inside still had reservations about the final look of my external colours but i am quite happy with the look now. Will see how the surfmist Panel Door and Security blind on front window look. Have been thinking maybe the windows should have been surfmist as well but was concerned how much they would stand out against the darker brick Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ My little pile of left over bricks Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Most of these visible sections of roof will be covered with solar panels - 23 of them - on all 3 sections if required Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 507Dec 14, 2017 7:24 am I think the black window frames look great (getting them too). So hard to pick colours for the externals when you have little samples and hats to picture it as a whole, but think you have done great Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 509Dec 14, 2017 10:03 am The house is looking great and I personally prefer the black windows, I think they look more modern. The garage door makes all the difference to the final look of the house,it's so annoying having to wait right till the end to see it Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 510Dec 14, 2017 10:48 pm Only reason we went with silver pearl for windows is because we thought a dark colour might look odd inside for us or we might not like it on inside since our inside is all white and light grey, if not for that we would take black too we went with cottage green garagedoor and roof cause black would not wor with energy rating and we went with momentum (dark grey) rendered garage peers and panel frint doir ro blend in with bricks our security doors is also silver pearl. The surf mist looks good with your white mortar and the back breaks it a bit to balance it out Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 511Dec 15, 2017 9:45 am got my bill from SAPN yesterday $316 Logged into AGL site today and it advised me my next meter read is due in 47 days - so i guess they will start billing me supply charges then i know surfmist windows would have been to much. but 2nd guessing decisions made 5 months ago is part of the fun of building Energy rating is why i went with surfmist - that and I hate seeing bird droppings under tv antenna's on dark roofs Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 513Dec 15, 2017 11:04 am yes but at least the bills during construction are just the base supply charges so very predictable. electricity should be just under $90 and water about $150 per quarter. and to add to the festive bills i got my stage 3 and 4 progress invoices this morning hopefully that means lockup before shutdown - will go onsite after work today and check out if anythings happened further since Wednesdays visit - will then be visiting more sporadically till mid january.

We will still go a couple of times a day to have a presence there and try to deter any wrongdoing from others... Lol yep can predict it but still paying it ontop of nirmal bills 😂 hopefully not too long. We had no progress last night. They had 2nd fix booked for today but not sure what it is and if it will go ahead with all the ither stuff thats was rescheduled (still no doirs/lockup) Re: Hickinbotham Torquay Mod 516Dec 15, 2017 11:19 am Entilzha 2nd fix is done after linings and joinery i think includes things like finalizing wiring and plumbing etc Oh thought it would be doirs and eaves and archives, corniness etc thought i read its the bit they do hust when they lockup.
