Progress!

16/1- We have had to re-apply for our homeloan because the last application expired..
So I needed to call SJD Homes (our awesome builder) to see how far off we were from doing a soil test.

AT LAST GOOD NEWS!

Builder advises soil test is ready to be done as our block has been levelled off!

17/1 - Soil test is done and sent off. Head to display homes to updated our plan and chose our EXTERNAL colours.
Wanna see our choices?

Here is a mock up from Metricon's Studio M - Envisage program. A great tool for anyone who needs a picture before they can really visualise something.

Colours include:

Bricks- Austral Blackwood
Mortar - Off White
Roof Tiles - Newcastle
Gutters – Woodland Grey

Fascias – Surfmist

Downpipes - Dune
Garage Door - Dune
Windows - Dune
Render – Front door Projection - Surfmist
Render - Garage - Dune
Front Door – Thunderbolt

The colours have warped a little from scanning but you get the idea!
Can you tell I'm a bit excited? It's just so nice to be able to actually get the ball rolling. Our pile of 'house' things i is accumulating too so it'll be fun when we get up to the interior choices too! Yay!
