, and Woodland Grey for the fascia and downpipes, and also the windows and roller garage door. It's very hard to choose colour based on those little chips of steel and some photos in bad light! But we got there. And up until the day we decided we were always having Woodland Grey on the roof. But there was a new colour, and in actual fact the Woodland Grey looked a little too green for the whole roof... I think the Monument colour will be just perfect. A slate - dark grey colour.
We're having some bank issues. As in not enough cash. Thank god for credit cards to give us that little bit extra until we get to lockup... just have to hope it will be enough! We haven't gone over, just a matter of timing for payments. It's all good, though, we've got it sorted.
Stay posted for some more photos of the roof going on... maybe even some action shots, we'll see....

Frame Inspection .... check!
We have a frame! And it even passed inspection. Cool! Bikeman spent many, many hours of his life (big thanks to Pops for helping out) hammering in nail after nail after nail. The chippie showed Pete how to hammer on the bracing so it would save us money (and him time), which was great. So now all we need is a roof .... and for somewhere that is in drought it has been raining a LOT!
Roofer was out there today, which is great, putting up the fascia. By the way, we have chosen the following Colorbond roof colours: Monument for the main roof, and guttering

We have fixtures!
The search for the perfect (cost-effective) toilet is over as quickly as it began. I found 2 very reasonably priced toilets today at E & S Trading. Great!!! And I figured while I was there I may as well buy the bath, and the sinks for the vanities. God I love spending money! Not too bad, went a little over on the toilets and ensuite/bathroom basins but was able to rake that back by the basin in the toilet and the bath. So an end deficit of only $130, that's not too bad - surely we can eat beans for a week or two to make that one up (and then make thoroughly good use of the toilet!!!!).
