Personally , I think that to give advice , you'd need to supply more information -- what the neighbourhood is like , your favourite colours , the plants in your garden , and the likes . I quite like the colours there , but I'd do the front door , the gutters , the window sills and those cap pieces up the pillar supports in an orange or teal or red or similar to add some Wow and excitement , but thats just me .

currently timber work is light green .. alum brown windows and terracotta orange roof .. bit ugly house from road

Hi, im wanting to construct a verandah roof off an existing block wall, the rafters will span 3.8 meters and will have a clearlight roof. what size rafter do i need?

I am currently replacing my extra low pitch almost flat long run steel roof, as there is no attic space only 250mm between the ceiling and roof and due to the heat coming off ceilings underneath we all need to take refuge downstairs in the garage during the summer months.I also want to do something about reducing the heat above the ceiling and also add more insulation.The original 1970s reflective roofing underlay paper will also need to be replaced.Anyone have any ideas of a good roofing underlay that would help reduce heat that is coming off the underside of the steel roofingI can only find black tar paper or the white synthetic house wrap at the hardware store.And any good brands ceiling insulation that will also help reduce heat.There is currently 100mm of glass fibre type batts insulation. I will also paint the roof white once it's installed.Any ideas would be appreciated.
