Looks messy, difficult and expensive. I don't know if you will have enough fall in the sewer pipe. I would suggest you get a sewer plan by contacting your local water authority, and perhaps a second opinion once you have this information. I would be asking about where the current laundry waste runs as this would seem to be a more logical connection. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

Thanks @siriuskey. We had the same thought, but our builder said the frame style moulding is for interior use only and would perish in 2-5 years in the full sun on the front of the house. Perhaps there is moulding that is suitable for outdoor use... I do like the look. One of our neighbours has done it (blue-grey paint, white window frames) and it looks good. We have done the kitchen window in the back as an experiment; it is undercover and out of the sun though. I like the grey idea, but our neighbour's house is shades of grey (not like the book ;) and we didn't want to be too matchy-matchy. We might have another think about the paint... thank you for your comments. :)

I am building a new house by the beach and at present I have thought of using Whitsunday Island as main render colour and Gatehouse as the highlight. Going with Surfmist roof and have “Random Pearl” stacked stone feature. Do you think Whitsunday Island will give off too much glare in the sun? Thanks.

Hi lovely people, I’m wondering if anyone has used a pendant light with lightly tinted / smoked glass in a bedroom? What does it do to the quality of the light. Does it make reading, for example, difficult? Cheers
