Light houses are so refreshing and happy looking! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Light bricks and a light roof??? 17Apr 20, 2009 12:50 pm Monkey, yes, I'm building in Bertram There are no houses around me yet but it's (newly) established a couple of streets away. Lots of people seem to have the florentine limestone (with the liney texture through the brickwork). I thought I liked it but it's overkill in this suburb so I've changed my mind! They're all really nice houses and I'd be happy to call one mine, but I'm now thinking something different. I've seen many houses with very light roofs (lighter than dune) and some dark roofs but don't know how many with Dune. Last time I was down there I didn't know any of the names or colours so I'll check when I'm down next (probably in a few days). I've met one of the neighbours opposite but wished I'd given her my details (she'd come down to dance around on her land and show it off to her family like I had!). It would me lovely to start our little street community as early as possible so we could all go through the building process together! My builder is building quite a lot of houses in the area so maybe he can get us all connected. Not sure if he'd want to or not, but he's already offered to set me in contact with a guy who is building there himself (with my builder also) who has a security screen business. The issue I'm having now is what to do with my garage door! There is not a great deal of actual brickwork to be seen at the front of my house, it's mainly the blade wall and the garage door, so I really need to figure that out. Though I am making the garage wider so i'll have a bit extra on each side. Will see when I pick up the plans today! (And then you'll all be in for some posting from my end!!) ** I just wanted to add how wonderful it is to have found these forums. You're all lovely and have helped me so much already in less than a day! My tac-home-ter: Been in 8 months! Re: Light bricks and a light roof??? 19Apr 20, 2009 1:18 pm I def like the light coloured houses as apposed to the dark houses. I dont think it would look odd at all!
