Week 20 and 21 Painting

Weeks Twenty 18 - 22 Feb 

and  Twenty One 25 - 29 

Day 100 - 104.  This fortnight the painters were working hard.  They got all the internal prep finished, ceilings painted and started on the walls. 

We have gone with the same colour throughout the whole house.  Its a light forn colour with a couple of feature walls in a slightly darker colour.  All of the rooms except J's bedroom are really light so we should not need to put the lights on during the day like we do at our current house.  

 

Day 100 - 104.  The painters finished the interior painting including all the feature walls.  It looks great and makes the walls look even bigger.  Its going to be fun to decorate.

I have been doing some work to get the retaining walls built ASAP.   While I had the certifier out there I discovered the council rules had changed and it was no longer mandatory to have a tank.  Given the tank was not in the place we really wanted, and the place we did want it was not going to be ready till after we take the house and do the landscaping, we originally had to compromise the location.  Now we have had the builder remove the tank from the plan which works so much better as we can do the work we need in the garden then put in tanks where we want.  The lucky thing is the house is already plumbed for the toilets and washing machine to be able to use the tank water.

The exterior painting is also finished.  The cladding has been painted the same colour as the gutters and we have gone for a colour that is slightly lighter than the roof.
