We counted 17 pallets of urban one silver and 4 pallets of commons for under the moroka. We found brick selections really difficult, especially because we needed exposure grade. We spent a small fortune adding stacked stone to our facade, so we really wanted to stick with a brick that wasn't too expensive. The silver urban one bricks were one of the very few colours that complimented our roof and have also recently been re-coloured so that the interior is closer to the exterior colour if they chip. I think that the inside looks darker, but we aren't that worried given that they won't be on the facade of our home.
No sign of our windows yet, I'm dying to see them installed! We also got plantation shutter quotes based on our plans today and were very pleasantly surprised. We will now be doing shutters on all but one of our windows and are debating between PVC or basswood. More decisions!
Hopefully they don't chip too easily!
yay bricks already, you guys are flying along! don't worry I'm right there with you re: being a big emo when nothing is happening haha I'm cool as a cucumber when there's site work ("oh yeah bricks are going up today, no biggie") and then im a sook when good days go to waste ("where are they! they said they'd be here tuesday! this is the worst week ever")
ReplyDeletep.s stacked stone is ridiculously good looking, so I think that's a fabulous expense really!
DeleteAh that's so funny! I've whinged non stop all week because nothing other than brick delivery has happened. Next week is the week for action (I hope!).
