Changes

The next year sees some welcome changes to our house.
The house was built in the late 60's and an extension was added in the 80's??
There are no redeeming features to speak of and it is pretty nondescript.
For some reason the previous owners did the extension in heritage colours...
Think cream, burgundy and green.
When we first moved in the 60's section was red brick with aluminium windows with the 'heritage coloured' extension added on.
At the time to complement the extension we painted the brick sand and the window frames burgundy.



YUCK... but it filled the gap for the time.
Now it's on to the present....

The plan is to paint the roof grey (it's currently red) and also the trim grey.
We have to put up with the faux weatherboard cream extension for the time being (but I have plans to distract from this.)  

So we paint the roof grey and the window frames white.  
The bottom half  with the brick section will be rendered in sandbank (colorbond) and the window frames also in white. 
The gutter section will be covered with grey cladding to disguise the gutters and complement the roof.
This picture is from last year...in the meantime we have had to unfortunately remove the tree on the right as it was interfering with the power lines.
