No photos today, I've hassled Dale that because he has been taking the camera with him everyday that we will have hundreds of photos of our house and no photo's of the children to look back on - so he's left the camera at home and I've only taken photo's of the kids once!! There is a reason though, I've spent the last few days trying to decide what colour garage door I want.
It should be easy when you consider that I had already decided. When we started I was going to have blue garage doors but as the building has progressed I've changed my mind - bad idea. When you drive up to the house all you see is this massive blue roof, I think it would just be way too much to have the garage doors the same.
Then I thought we could have the charcoal colour that matches the window frames until I found out they don't make garage doors in that colour (we could get them painted that colour but I just don't trust paint on a garage door that is going to get the full western afternoon sun everyday).
Then I found the homeone forum (http://forum.homeone.com.au/) which I now love and someone suggested we have timber or timber look doors. At first I wasn't at all sure but then I Googled it and LOVED the look. Which is great but I needed to see it in real life. Took a while to find somewhere that did the wood look (real timber is too much hassle to maintain and is way too expensive for us at the moment). In real life the door we saw was AWEFUL it looked like a painted brown door and it wasn't even a nice brown.
I kept looking and found some that I really like but it's nearly 4 times more expensive than a standard roller door. So now I am thinking of matching the garage door to the grout of the bricks which is going to be quite light.
I am not making a final decision until the bricks are finished but am leaning towards the colour Surfmist. Here are the colours blue roof, Surfmist Garage Door and the bricks (don't have the charcoal window frames but you can see them in earlier posts).
Anyway the brickie starts on Tuesday so it won't be long and the decision will have to be made. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
