and the votes are in...

After unprecedented response to a wide spread opinion gathering mission, the overwhelming response was, Snore......

However The exciting news today is that the artichoke has requested a meeting with us. That's right folks He rang me and asked to meet. I think this means he has something exciting to show us. It is also a land mark step in his ability to instigate some communication. I'm so excited. Its gets a bit dull when you are the one trying to initiate all the time and you get knock back after knock back.... Sorry where was I ?

Ok So I am having to come to terms with the idea That I may be the only one who thinks used gal and rusty steel make good exterior cladding.. c'mon theres gota be someone out there that thinks its nice.... So that means we are going to be restricted to colourbond colours I am guessing. But do we go for the two tone effect ie. different colour on the walls to the roof? or will that just not look right? and can i remind every one that this house is suposed to be looking murcuttesk in its styling.

  1. Sorry I've missed all this excitement, Tim! It sounds wonderfully unique and fabulous. Go for it. It's so refreshing to have some innovation in house styles...I'm so over eco unfriendly McMansions. As far as ensuites go...you'll love it. You really will. And Anita will love it more (consider she's the only girl in the house - so far). She'll adore you forever. Just make sure it's a double shower. They're the best.

  2. Mercuttesk... google it. Your blog is the only thing that comes up... did you make up that word? I think you did otherwise wikipedia would have popped up, or that annoying "Did you mean..."

    Personally, modern looks don't strike my fancy so you're really asking the wrong audience.

  5. The beauty of Murcutts designs is in there simplicity and his adherence to form following function and his celebration of true Aussie architectural form, the tin shed. he was doing solar passive before any one even knew what it was
