Mystery Weather Board Cladding


The laundry outdoor room, from the original design, was about two feet deeper – but using my phenomenal powers of architectural knowledge – id actually built onto my drive way – which I didn’t want. Perth is known for once-in-hundred-year hail storms that come out of nowhere (and usually don’t even remotely effect Fremantle but hey, cure vs whatever.. )

So, the laundry went on a diet so I would still be able to fit my car down there (thank you collapsible washing line).

Result of which – no more bricked walls. The main house is brick – so I really wanted it matchy matchy – but no can. The reason is far to complicated for me to worry about – but something to do with…. No, can’t explain it. Builderspeak.  

Looking for other cladding, since bricks are to be done away with… Options:

Outdoor wallpaper on fibre-board panels? ME LIKEY.

COLORBOND (my house shall not be corrugated) -- images from Colorbond.

And the winner is (thank you for the anonymous suggestion by a person who shall never mention that they suggested it every again on pain of excommunication): WEATHERBOARD

It is looking so very very pretty!


BIG fan of my mottled glass windows and door too. See that flat-opening door. So clever.


Builder-in-training Josh - lining up and measuring the planks - i imagine making sure they are straight. 

<3 it!
Weatherboard turns out to look super-great and perfectly matches with the existing house. YEY for weatherboard. Thank you person with great building ideas :) (Though ill never say it in person)..
