Week 9 - Extension is water tight and ready for painting

So the joinery was installed yesterday and the cladding finished today so we are ready to paint next week. The guttering will hopefully also go on next week but we will have to wait and see. The amendment application for the change to the roof is being lodged so hopefully the council are prompt in the processing so that we can continue without drama next year.

Even though a lot has been achieved so far there is still so much left to do. First we have to make our final external paint selection. I have chosen a colour twice and both times it looks pinkish in the afternoon sun. This is from the magenta base to the colour to warm it up. who knew there was so much to understand about colour! I think that we have settled on triple sea fog but will have to check with brad... again!

Week 7 - The roof is on

I came home on Friday to a surprise of the roof being put on. The rooms feel great.

We had a stressful week deciding to lift the joining roof or not from 2.1 mtrs to 2.4 mtrs. Normally a no brainer but raising would mean losing our guttering from part of the existing roof as the membrane roof would now join to the old roof. We have decided to raise the roof and our architect is working on how to deal with the additional rain water onto the membrane roof. Hopefully all the time and effort pays off and council give us the go ahead!
