DAY 102 - Painting well underway...

Monday 26th November 2012

The painters started last Thursday (not Tuesday as expected) with a day of prep work filling in all the little holes on the skirts and arcs from the nail guns and other mundane stuff.  Friday they sprayed the WHOLE house with the first coat.  Amazing!

Today they are sanding and doing the gloss paintwork on the trims and doors.  Tomorrow they will do the final rolled and brushed coats to the roof and walls and it will be 90% done!  I think after that they will do staining of woodwork, external painting to eaves, battens, alfresco etc. so it's possible they will be all finished by the end of the week.


The colour doesn't really show well in the photos.  A whole house in this colour is a lot of it!  We hope it's ok when furniture is in there, because there's no way we're repainting for a very very long time... except maybe a few feature walls :)


We have Lexicon Quarter (white) trims with Beige Royal Half walls.  It doesn't seem to matter that with the sprayed on first coat the white is way over the trim size.  I love deep skirting boards but these ones will be gone tomorrow :)

 

Doors were sprayed here :)

 

It's so convenient when there's no floor coverings so only the feature timber and tiles need to be covered up!

Yay we're double digits... 96 days to go!
