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.

Wow - they've certainly made some progress! After I posted about the WIR , I thought about the displays - which all seem to have the upgrade with laminex edge & cupboard - that's why there are no brackets! We upgraded to that at Tender.

Garage door looks great , too! :-)
You'll be in before you know it!

You guys seem to be flying along, you'll be in before us! I like the garage door - looks very smick.
I think PD have had a lot of maintenance issues with shelves hence why they add support frames. That and the fact that the chippys are all different and all have their own way of doing things and therfore you get inconsistencies across the different houses/areas.
