It's not overly confusing, but I do work in the industry, so have some insights. Our area isn't scheduled for NBN build until 2020/2021, and the cable services are still all overhead, so I've got to work the system for the outcome I want... Until NBN takes over the infrastructure where we are, I have to work with Telstra I have an ace card I haven't yet played which is Foxtel cable, so I may have to resort to that, depending on which Telstra division will do the civil works for the least money.

Hi guys, I need to sign off on colour combinations by this Friday and seeking help to choose the render colour for first floor. Front door = charcoal stained Garage = knotwood wenge Bricks = Austral access chestnut Roof = colour bond monument Gutters down pipes = Monument Windows = Black First floor colour = Grey pebble as recommend by M colour consultant but I am not confident with this colour choice which is going on the first floor as ground floor is all brick. Could anyone help please or any suggestions regarding grey pebble colour with above combination or any other colour recommendation for the first floor ?
