Garage makes it look complete

The garage door makes the house now look complete.  
Garage door now completes most of the house

It is a Panelmasta Contemporary profile in Evening Haze.  We went the lighter colour as our Colour consultant suggested that if we went "Monument" (to match the roof) it would look like a maw.  

Our painting guy (Mick) kindly checked with us before hand and painted it the colour of the eaves (which is a closer match to the garage door colour than Monument would have been!)  

These photos are courtesy of Will... and surprisingly enough he took a fair few :)  I've decided to use them all!

You can see the unpainted downpipe on the right 

The painted eaves and the courtyard is looking great.  That wall featured in this picture will have the Weber BBQ and a small vertical garden for the common herbs I use.  (Basil, Oregano, Chives, Shallots, Coriander).  The plan is that I'll use the IKEA Fintorp range and just hang them off rails.  These will be grown in soil/potting mix.
Courtyard - still loving it :)
The courtyard still has the bricks there.  I wonder how long we'll leave them there before we get over it and move it or pave it!  I better do some counting or calculating the surface area the Blackett bricks will cover!
Doesn't look like a lot of bricks

Courtyard will look pretty plain until we get around to implementing the landscape plans!

The library will be bare too until we save some funds to build the library shelves!

Rear of house - decking plans still needed!

A new addition to the build.  If only we knew what it was!
 Again I wonder how long this door will be here.  The plan is to swap it over for the one we got from TheBigHouse (forum member).  I think the whole frame and the door will be painted Monument though...

Anyone want to weigh in and advise their thoughts on hardware colour if we go Monument (black) door?

Yikes it looks messy

One more just in case you want another angle :)
