Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 23, 2009 10:04 pm So, after almost 10mths of nothing but agony following the settlement of our land (long story!), we now have plans lodged with the estate developer for first-approval.

Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3975 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature.
