Carpets, garage door and shower screens!

The last couple of days have been quite positive with the carpets, shower screens and garage door installed.

I'm very impressed with the garage door. It's very quiet compared to other doors we've had in the past. The door is from EcoGarage Doors

Garage door in Ribline profile, Monument colour.

The garage door is insulated which I think is a great idea. The back of the door looks much neater too.

Hubby wired up a button in the garage that we press to open and close the door. Saves us having to use the remote. The face plate has been taken off as the painters still have to paint the garage. 


Shower screens were also installed today in the bathroom and downstairs powder room.

The carpet layer was there yesterday laying the carpet to the study (aka spare bedroom / sitting room) and theatre room. These are the only two rooms in the house with carpet. 

We went with the builders standard Flinders Green carpet in Taupe. It's a nice warm mid grey colour and I think it will look great with Dulux Teahouse walls in the theatre (when they get painted) and it looks good with the Dulux Beige Royal half walls in the spare room/sitting room. I'm not sure how it rates in terms of quality but for two low traffic areas I figured it wasn't worth upgrading.

  1. hi

    Just wanted to say thank you for your blog. Our build does not start for at least 12 months so I am enjoying reading your progress and wishing we had started our build.

    Thanks again

    1. Hi K, thanks for your comment. I know how hard the wait can be, we purchased our land in 2007 and had to wait a few years before we could even start looking for builders. I hope your build goes smoothly for you :)
