Follow-up After Tender Accepted

We haven't heard anything from Elderton's office within 4 weeks after we accepted the tender.  The suspense was really killing us.  We spent the last 4 weeks getting inspirations for house decorations, internal and external color schemes, landscape designs etc.  With the plethora of options, we are now screwed!!  Are we going for a warm or cold palette? Do we go for a rustic theme or contemporary design? Should a we go for a timber look tile or a plain grey polished tile? Ok now... don't fret.  We will someday find our groove as we continue to look for more inspirations.

Alas! Finally Elderton contacted us after the 4th week. The latest variation (removal of smart hub and revision for the bedroom layout to make rooms a little wider) came in. Elderton also scheduled us for a color selection appointment in mid-April.

We were instructed to pick the bricks and roof tiles before going to the color selection appointment.  We need to visit Austral brickyard in Horsely Park - which we had already done.  We thought of going for a darkish facade, so the bricks that took our attention were Blackbutt (Wilderness Range) and Orpheus (Whitsunday range).   Next assignment was to visit Boral Display centre to pick the roof tiles.
