Cladding....a bit of a hiccup

Our cladding went up super fast as did our eaves. They were also very quick to paint it.... unfortunately so quick they had finished before I could point out it was the wrong colour... OOPS... No big deal.. Quick phone call to Clarendon and it was repainted first thing the next day. 

Cladding unpainted

We also had a bit of a design issue here.. The wall where the brick suddenly stops and the cladding begins was suppose to be all bricked according to our plans. I put in a request to have it fixed and although they were happy to change it back to brick it would have meant pulling apart the wall and roof to put supports in for bricks. They would have done it if I had pushed for it, but to be honest it doesn't bother us enough to warrant the delay in the build.. So it stays :)

Painting finished... wrong colour :( They painted it Taubmans Stonebridge instead of Taubmans Dune)

Since the cladding colour was to match our garage door I really needed it changed. The incorrect colour looked white from a distance and much too bright.

During the repainting.. much better


New colour.. this was taken at around sunset so it has made the cladding a little yellowish.. Its actually a lovely light brown colour. Much happier with it.

  1. Thank you for all the information.
    We are building the Sheridan 40. After a long long wait for council approval, we have the earthwork started TODAY. We would appreciate if you could update the blog so we could estimate the time from start to finish.
    I guessed you already move in your new home by now.
    Thanks
