Some pics from PCI. I forgot to photograph the outside and the main bathroom 🤦‍♀️ Handover on the 27th 🤞 Kickboards still to go on and lots of paint touch ups mostly from when the skirting was removed for the flooring and put back on. No major defects, a couple of architraves need fixing up, and on...

I would have thought the butler pantry would look more like this which would be nice. But I guess the 2 top shelves would have to be raised to a height above the window.

PCI went well today. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the paintwork, not too many touch ups needed. One mirror that needs replacing, a door, a few missing switch plates and a scratched window, but nothing major. Landscapers haven't been through but he's confident it will all be complete b...
