The above pic showing completion of Hebel. Render look finish to be applied at a later date. Watch this space! Our render colour won't be too different from the original Hebel colour! 

The above pic shows the electrical work & plaster board ready & waiting. NBN wiring also installed. The rest of the month will see our walls and ceiling complete. 

Facade Dramas!

February 20, 2014 -

Unfortunately Parks Edge have knocked back our request to have a plain fully rendered house. They've requested that we use two different materials. For most people this is easy as they'll opt for part brick, and part render... but for us it's a little trickier as we're building entirely with Hebel.

So we have very few options, but the easy one is to use tiles on part of our facade - most likely the front projection around the master window.

So now we have to select a tile to suit our facade. This is going to be tough as we don't know if we'll choose a tile that is very similar to our Winnow render colour (off white) or instead opt for a Colorbond "Dune" colour tile to match the roof. Decisions, Decisions. Our choice may also impact our "Jasper" garage door colour and we may have to go for a lighter brown instead.
