Renovations: Days Twelve And Thirteen



We now have a new front decking!

And the beginning of an entranceway!

Oh, and I've learnt the true value of having a man around the house all day - I had a spider in my car today and was able to call out for help. Yes, I know, I'm completely tragic.

Discussions about roofing have also begun. We had originally thought we'd stick with the ugly brown tiles and have them painted later on. The builders have suggested, though, that we think about changing it all to colourbond. We'll get quotes on both and have a think about it. My preference? I have no idea what's good or bad about either - looks like it's time to do some research. (There are some things you never imagine ever having to read up about - roofing is one of them for me. How boring.)

  1. Is there nothing a builder can't do? ;-)

    Good luck with your roofing decision - I know what I'd go for. Want to know? Colorbond. But then, it's your roof... :-)

  2. I bet your glad the men were around for that spider. I'm about to start renovating on the 13th of September. Tomorrow the skip bin arrives. I'm stealing your idea and posting about the renovations on my blog too. I'd choose the colourbond. Have fun with the rest of your renovation.

  3. Holy crap! That was fast!

    I would have used them to remove a spider too. Get your money's worth, I say :) They've been getting cake and beer!

  4. They are the fastest builders I have ever seen!

    As for the roof? My vote is with colourbond. nothing like the sound of rain on the roof... love it. :)

  5. Oh my, more decisions... does it ever end? I do like the sound of colourbond though - this could look really super modern and funky. Love the new decking! Yummy! x
