Austral Hawthorn Bricks

Here's some photos of our Hawthorn bricks. These were category 4 upgrade and costs ~$5k. The off white mortar was another $1k on top. We chose to have the rolled joints instead of a flush finish. I think the off white mortar together with the rolled joints make the bricks stand out better and have been well worth the money.









All in all, I'm quite happy with the hawthorn bricks and the overall quality of the brick laying itself. The only other brick I would have considered was the Graphite Elements ones to get that grey finish but they were a few categories above so I didn't even bother asking.

On a side note, there has been some serious miscalculation of bricks on PD's side. I have about 11 pallets left over! I've confirmed with my site supervisor that these can be left on site so I can use them later for fencing.

    Being safe around your swimming pool with some frameless glass pool fencing installed will surely give you a peace of mind especially having small children playing around it!

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 :)
