The brickies returned today to fix their error (missed brickwork in portico for 34C ceiling) and roof structure is getting close to completion. They're now installing the colorbond fascia.

The guys completed the roof timbers today, put the manhole in the correct spot (garage) and re-installed the portico ceiling at 34 courses after the brickwork was fixed yesterday. All the fascia's have been installed loosely, eaves started and roof battens installed ready for colorbond to be fixed once the other stuff is ready.

It's going to be our gallery, where we'll put all the photos of the kids, etc. We're going to have a feature light in our entrance as well, I got the builder to put a junction box there and we'll get our own electrician to fit it once we've found the light fitting. In the future we eventually plan to also do the face brick in the TV recess and fit a gas fireplace at the bottom. We're tossing up between these 2 flooring colours at present Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: KDR - New Choice Homes Custom design - Perth, WA 56Apr 01, 2019 10:57 pm I've been watching the progress of your build, and was initially thinking you'd made a big mistake with the bricks, and how bad it was looking.... Now that they've been cleaned, man oh man do they look good!! Very striking! Congratulations on a great looking house, you must be chuffed and excited I've never seen a house built this way, so it's very interesting to watch. Keep the posts coming! Re: KDR - New Choice Homes Custom design - Perth, WA 57Apr 01, 2019 11:49 pm It’s quite a common style of brick in WA. Midland brick does a similar one called Restoration Red. We originally planned to do an industrial style, but we toned it down a lot. The original house we demolished was built in 1959, so it’s an older area. We don’t really like the modern cream coloured bricks, they seem to age quickly. It’s all personal choice I guess, but I understand it’s different. Our kids don’t really like it!
