Exterior painting

The painters continued on with the skirting and architraves today. I could see them via the internal camera. 

However, little did I know, they were also working on the exterior. Today they got the eaves, downpipes, cladding and front door painted. 

When I went past this afternoon, to my surprise, the garage door had also been installed. I can't tell you how excited I was to see that. 

It now looks more like a house. It is all coming together so beautifully and so quickly.

J gave our SS a call this afternoon to find out whether they would be replacing the aluminium strip at the front corner of the house along the cladding as it is a little bent, and to J's happiness, our SS advised we are about a month away from completion. That is the best news ever!

The painting and tiling will be completed this week, next week should see the plumbing, electrical and air conditioning fit off done, the week after I believe they will start on the tiling to the main floor area as well as carpet installation, then the Tyrells inspection will take place, followed by PCI.  Exciting!! I can hardly wait.

While I was there I quickly popped in and managed to get a photo of the ensuite tiles. I was hoping to see the floor but as he had just finished grouting it today, it was covered with black plastic.

Painting has commenced

The painting has officially started. After the demonstration on Wednesday, the painters have returned today to continue the job.  So far, they have completed one coat of paint to the walls, skirting, architraves and ceilings.

I am very happy with the colour, although it is lighter than I though. However, with the second coat I am sure it will be a little darker. I think it is actually a good contrast with the floor tiles, which are darker than what I anticipated. But so far, I am loving everything that I see.
