Just completed build with Hallmark Homes Re: Our Topaz in 2010 Roof tiles n Windows In!! 52May 16, 2010 5:29 pm Wow this is powering along, that's great We had our porch and alfresco concreted with the slab, something to do with the type of slab that we needed (but we got charged extra for it). However, we ended up concreting over the top when we got the driveway done in exposed agg so that it all looked the same. You would never know there was plain concrete underneath.

Bring on the bricks Re: Our Topaz in 2010 Roof tiles n Windows In!! 55May 17, 2010 5:23 pm Thanks Hels, n&n02, Pebbles Hels we are thinking of getting our Porch n Patio tiled but Driveway exposed aggregate that is if it falls within our budget. n&n02 our windows are silver in colour. After the windows went in i realised that we cant open the bottom half only the top sliding to let air in. Would have preferred full openings to windows as most homes i have seen. Pebbles i am a little bit disappointed with the roof tiles as i feel they look too dark at this stage. Hoping that ones the bricks are in it will blend in. I had taken the picture midday in sunlight they look black and in shade they look more bluish greyish.
