Render is painted

The render has been painted over the weekend which is good. Other than that nothing has happened. It is so frustrating the painters started on 31st July and have only been 3 days all up so nothing has been done since last pics. The tiles were delivered ages ago but I think they have to wait for the painting to finish before they start. Our 3rd SS started last week so will take a while to get up to speed. In the mean time every time I drive past there is no-one there, grrrrrrr.



When inside recently we have also noticed new watermarks all over the slab in three adjoining rooms with a very big section in the rumpus room. There does not seem to be any water marks on the walls so I guess it must be running down the wall cavity from the roof. Great!!

Painting Continues and Garage Door On

All but one time this week when I have driven past the house there has been nobody working. Painting is under way but could be faster. The whole house has been sprayed but there is obviously a lot more to go. It is amazing the 10 huge tins of paint were left in the garage from Friday til Tuesday in full view of the street with the temp fencing wide open and still nobody stole it. As far as I know we have not had one thing taken from our site!

The issue with the unwanted wardrobe brackets has been resolved and they are being removed. We upgraded our wardrobe to be exactly as in the display home with a cupboard on each side and some extra laminex so we expected it to look the same. No to mention the fact that the brackets were right where the cupboards were supposed to go so they couldn't stay anyway. I will be interested to hear about what happens with the others building with PD who have these brackets and don't like them.

The tiles have been delivered (I could see them through the windows), hopefully they are the right ones. Not sure when tiling will start.

Our timber look garage door has been installed, I pulled it down a little bit to take this photo. The colour looks good and will look even better once the render is painted and the timber windows and features are stained.

This pic shows the contrast between our wall colour and the ceiling white.
