Comments (4)I will see what is there - dad has been tinkering around the internet the last few weeks seeing what was available, but I think what he is really after is a 1 part gravel, 2 parts lime, 1 part cement type thing....See More1950s red brick house
Comments (2)Hi there Fear not! brick is a great material and is easily transformed :) Resene have a great brick paint called X200, here is the link: http://www.resene.com.au/homeown/painting-your-home/paintingconcrete8.htm Have a look through our colour concepts in the Bodo online showroom. They include a shopping list of all of the colours and materials to create the perfect fail safe exterior and interior colour scheme...including roof colour, joinery colour, even paving and other options. https://www.bodoboards.com.au/collections/paint-concept Good Luck!...See MorePerth Extension/Renovation - 1950's Brick & Tile 3x1
Comments (29)Well, it has been a long (and sometimes painful) process but we are nearly at the end of the extension/renovation. We ended up going with a building designer (Dalecki Design) who made a few changes we really hadn't considered (including moving the existing bathroom) which may have cost slightly more but completely changed and improved the master bedroom space. Without the pool it will be close to the upper end of our original budget but still within what we were hoping for so fairly happy with that. Overall the new living area is amazing and filled with light compared to the old design. Will throw in some photo updates once we have finally converted the front yard from a sand pit and finished off the driveway, garage door and fencing....See MoreWhat to do with a 1950s brick state house?
Comments (12)Sounds like a great project with the potential of some nice views :) I would start by getting a good builder or structural engineer out to have a look at the walls that you would like to knock down. As if they are structural it would cost more to add some support beams and if your budgets $150K and you want to do all of the above it could take a chunk of your money. Sometimes structural walls dictate what can and can't be done ( without loads of money) to a house. I'd start with a builders quote for all the wall demo items on the wish list and then on top of the structural you would be looking at spending around; A small bathroom reno would be $20-25K with a bathroom reno company. DIY with a plumber and electrician. $10-15K. Kitchen $35-50K dependant on level of finish ( includes appliances) Flooring (Timber) $100-145 a sqm laid. Extra $ for any floor prep or levelling prior to installation. Carpet's $45-65 sqm laid. Gyprock line walls labour $75 an hour plus materials. Plastering internal walls after demo and gprocks completed . $15-45 a sqm. If you are really keen on getting the lower level extension and upper floor level done at a later time I would also ask the builder for a quote whilst he's on site. Having all the facts up front helps make decisions on what to do with reconfiguring the rest of the house :) good luck!...See Moreellenjy
