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.

External Elevation Drawings

These are the elevation drawings on how our house will look like. Wish they did a 3D model but this will suffice. This is our version of the Chatsworth facade. Notice the archway has been straightened to be more contemporary looking. One of our windows needs to be obscured. We've selected SatinLite finish instead of Spotswood glazing. The top of the balcony should be brick too so I've asked them to update it as a Post Contract Variation (even though I've picked it up before contract signing).  There's our extra laundry window and extended alfresco at the back Alfresco spanning the width of the house. Extra roller door to the back of the garage so we can drive straight through.  There's the big 3.6m feature window.  The maximum height they could do was 1.5m which is why it looks so short. Slight fall to the block so our house is cut in a bit more than we like it but that's how it's going to be done. At least we've increased the he...
