So plenty to keep us busy. You have been busy can't wait to see the finished result, you will be so happy once it is all done and you can sit back and enjoy with the pride that the hard work has paid off or plan the next project, which is what I seem to do lol. What internal paint colours did you end up using? I am questioning my choice of colour for windows, doors and skirting. Currently have whitewash with silverado walls but wondering if its too creamy. Thoughts? Current selections Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ cat_dunc ohh north is perfect. You'll have the same dilemma as us, any patio roof you put at the back will cover the magic winter northern sun that comes in and heats the house up. Ours is glorious, makes the back of the house so toasty in winter. Though you've already got a covered area so you don't really need more and thus won't cover your back windows Don't mind me What else do you want to put out the back? What do you have in mind? Ours is going okay. We dug about 55 holes yesterday and concreted/posted two thirds today for more retaining walls :O My OCD for "level" ground is going to do us in I won't post pictures til there's more to show. sekisui build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75060&p=1573965#p1573965 Building a sekisui house in Holmesville NSW viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75060 Re: Building a Sekisui house Now Holmesville 667Aug 04, 2016 8:21 pm Today we had a meeting with SS to have a good look through everything, overall we are really happy only minor things to be fixed.

Hopefully tomorrow we should get a better idea on pci date. That is fantastic news, hope the brickie now realise your house is not the one to cut corners on. Hope the repairs don't add too much time onto the completion. sekisui build viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75060&p=1573965#p1573965 Building a sekisui house in Holmesville NSW viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75060 Re: Building a Sekisui house Now Holmesville 679Aug 06, 2016 11:22 am So hubby and I have finally decided on our pendants.
