Comments (5)Very well written, I think it will help a lot of people. Yes, factor in a lot of broken drill bits with renovating old hardwood! Even the concrete stumps were harder....See MoreSuggestions - 1979 brown brick house with tile roof
Comments (12)I'm not sure if your gutter is colorbond or not, but I'd be tempted to paint both the gutters and windows in a charcoal colour. The blinds would then tie in a bit more with the colour scheme and would leave you with all the advantages that awnings supply. I also think, if your budget allows it, that getting rid of the concrete edging, pathway and patio would help a lot. Replacing them with pavers would certainly give it a fresher look as plain concrete is very dated now....See MoreBrick vs Hebel or something else?
Comments (5)we've done both: with the render finsh and painting the Hebel was more labour intensive, not cheaper than brick and the joints broke down after only two years It does provide good insulation but the same or better results can be achieved more efficiently...our next project will be reverse brick veneer with insulated Colorbond cladding..we concentrate on the shell of the building (roof, external walls, windows, doors and floors as the internal fittings can be added or upgraded over time...living without a proper kitchen for seven months allowed us to pay for better quality windows but you must plan to suit your climate and conditions, good luck...See MoreJay Dixit
