McLaren is definately right, once locked up things are happening, but you cant necessarily see it.

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Outside almost done PI 368Jul 28, 2011 11:44 am Looks great rebecca. You must be up to gyprock too. They're gyprocking mine today. Still seems we're travelling along neck and neck even after it took ages for my frame to get started Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Outside almost done PI 369Jul 28, 2011 1:26 pm Looking great Rebecca, wondering what colour you are painting your render? Did you get your vacuum system through the place on Nth East Rd? Can't remember their name, I know we are getting the same system but not sure if they are the only suppliers (DH did all the research!) DH is installing all our system & the husband & wife team that work at the Nth East Rd store are so helpful & even dropped off all the pipework to our house on Tues night so we didn't have to pick it up, very pleased with their service so far!

Thinking paperbark to match the garage door but would LOVE some other suggestions???

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings start tomorrow 373Jul 31, 2011 4:19 pm Travelling along quickly Rebecca! Hopefully you will get a builders key since you are using a small builder, then you wont have to peer through windows! As for render colour, we have matched our render to the panel lift door & fascias. We're having Colorbond "Evening Haze" we were originally having Paperbark & would have done the same thing. I just felt that using a colorbond colour would be safe, I was paranoid we would pick a colour that would look pink or something on a big scale Building our custom design "Dream Home" Follow my Build - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46820 Contract Signed - 28/04/11 Siteworks Commenced - 20/06/11 Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings start tomorrow 374Jul 31, 2011 4:21 pm Yeah, I agree.....hence thinking about paperbark.....just a bit worried it's all going to be too neutral. But I guess that doesn't date and we can jazz it up with some extras on the interior.....furniture etc. Rebecca Custom Build with Kersbrook Constructions - SA https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37762 Current Status: Handover on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings start tomorrow 375Jul 31, 2011 4:27 pm I think it will look awesome! and at the end of the day, you can always paint over it! I reckon render needs a re-coat after a while anyway, our last house had rendered quoins & they really needed fresh coat of paint at 9yrs old.

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings start tomorrow 377Jul 31, 2011 5:46 pm Insulation looking good and great news on lockup soon I like the idea of a nice neutral render and then accessorizing with plants , pots ect . Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings start tomorrow 378Aug 01, 2011 3:55 pm looking great! paperbark is nice. plus your panel lift door and front door are your features, anything too out there for the render would take away from them. Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings start tomorrow 379Aug 03, 2011 11:21 am Looking great Lots of lovely progress. Our render is Merino, so is the garage door and eaves but we have the wooden window frames and barges to lift it - it's all looking good so far.

Re: Our custom build in the Barossa - Linings start tomorrow 380Aug 03, 2011 10:53 pm Thanks for your input everyone....I am sure we will be happy with paperbark..... Well ceilings about 99% done and walls about 20% done. Doors, garage door and render all due by end of week - but depends a bit on rain tomorrow!!!

I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 6 55344 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
