Hi Matthew we bought an old doer upper that needs refreshing so I was keen to follow your post. We so far painted the front door replaced front letterbox guerney washed the concrete drive and have bought a panel lift door for the carport. We removed all the overgrown trees. Maybe guerney wash your roof , driveway and front steps, thats our next job (roof) and start with the gardens. If you keep the awnings - spraypaint them in a single tone, paint or replace the driveway fence, Remove that tall shrub or trim it, plant a row of plants up along the drive. Great house, like ours you can only improve it in value. Enjoy renovating!

I love the gates you’ve found Dave. Painted white, they will be perfect. You are probably struggling to find gates for further down the driveway because typically those houses didn’t have them. The driveway led straight down to the garage located at the back. If you need gates for security then I’d suggest something that echoes the front gates. Something that will keep the kids and dogs contained but won’t visually interrupt the wonderful frontage. You don’t want to cut off the cascading look of the triple frontage as it moves deeper into your block.

Has anyone used the Navtext product from New Age Veneers (https://www.newageveneers.com.au/navtext-range/)? Any views on the product. Looks nice and low price point but haven't been able to see any of the product used Thanks!

You will need to check that the substrate beneath the veneer is clean (not dusty, greasey). If there is contact adhesive present you may be able to carefully laminate the veneer back down with a clothes iron. Otherwise you will need to purchase some adhesive first.
