Barramudi Traditional Roof

Tuesday September 16 - Finally our roof is on! In the time the frames and chipboards were laid bare, they had been exposed to all sorts of wild weather, from sunny days to flash floods, hail and thunderstorm. Finally, I can feel at ease that the internals are now protected.

Here's the Marriot 48 finally taking shape!

Here is the view from the top of the garage looking to the rumpus:

Here's a close up of the Barramundi Traditional Monier Roof Tiles

The Traditional profile is a Category 3 for Porter Davis. We had originally chosen the Horizon profile as we wanted the flat look. However, they were a Category 4 and an extra $1000 or so more pricey. After seen these laid, I am glad we reverted back to the Traditional profile as I think the slight waves give it a bit more shape.

Interior Paint - Wattyl Winter Mushroom

Painting is complete. We've gone for the grey finish to the walls. Here's how the Winter Mushroom looks. Originally we thought of doing white for the architraves and doors but got convinced by the colour consultant to use the same paint all round. Was a bit worried at first but it has come off nicely.

Cedar Plank Palandri Carpets Laid

Carpets were laid just before Christmas except for the master bedroom which was getting its squeaks fixed . We picked the Palandri Category 2 carpets in Cedar Plank colour. Nothing too fancy as Category 2 was the included freebie and we didn't want to pay the Porter Davis premium for upgrades. Figured when it's better to let the kids wear out this one and replace it in a few years time at a much cheaper cost per square metre. Here's a roll of carpet. The most excited I've ever been to see a roll of carpet :)
