Still high from the fumes........

Popped out to the house today and the painter was there. Great guy and is doing a fantastic job !!! He said he should be finished by about Wed or Thu next week, which means the tiler will be delayed until the following week *sigh*
We are really happy with the colours. The skirtings and doors are Wattyl "chalkdust" and the walls are Wattyl "scallopine". I am looking forward to seeing the outside colours come together. I don't know how the painters do it. The fumes were so strong !!!
The electricians made a nice mess of the rendering. Glad we don't have to fix it.

Got some fence quotes last week. Best was for $55 p/m, that includes capping. We also want Merbau horizontal slat gates on either side of the house, they will be $495 each including GST.....Everything just keeps on adding up, lol

we have chalkdust on our walls!! good colour :-))

those horizontal slat gates look fantastic so well done on your choice.

mmmm yeah, costs are never ending unfortunately! but hey, you can't take the money with you when you die so may as well spend it now!!

I was wondering what company did your fences - timber capped.
Thank you :)

Hi Anon,

Fenceable Fencing in Werribee did all our fencing. The boundary fencing is great however they did a pretty average job with the merbau side wing and gate.
