The tide has turned, let the flooding begin...

The builder has told us that council require a flood report so we're waiting on the costings for that. Hopefully it should be too expensive? I am anticipating numerous incidental costs occurring so hopefully the ride isn't too bumpy. On another note, went to check out boral bricks in Castle Hill (the only boral bricks site open on a sunday) and finally picked our brick. Its Desert Sage, i know you were on the edge of your seat waiting anxiously to know. We also went round to a house that had this brick in Bella Vista (bella indeed and also grande) and this brick looked a'ight! With some lovely assistance from the lady at Boral we also went with ironstone guttering and fascia, paperbark downpipe, ironstone equivalent color for window frames, barramundi roof tiles and bushland garage. It sounds like it was a simple decision but there was lots of flip flopping. I always thought the downpipes would be same as guttering but hubs said its good to have guttering to match the brick so you don't notice it... And I guess the eaves will match the brick color as most houses seem to match.

stuck at the desk for lunch today, anyone watch ramsay last night? he made a nice looking steamed black bream. Am thinking of trying my hand at salmon carpaccio later in the week. But this is an entree style dish, what to have for main? hmmnnnnn
