Browse Forums Building A New House Re: ZARLI'S BUILD...KEYS TOMORROW :) 381Apr 07, 2011 12:07 am Wow keys tomorrow Zarli?!?! Congrats! Chucking a sickie on Friday perhaps??? I know what you mean about sample pots but it's better than painting the house and hating it. I went to bon@nz@ and said "this is too pinky purple, I want something similar but without that" So they recommended two other choices. ~*~Moved in on the 16th April 2011~*~ Re: ZARLI'S BUILD...KEYS TOMORROW :) 382Apr 07, 2011 11:02 am Keys on Thursday or Friday??? Are you doing a quick inspection before you pay them just to make sure they arent full of crap? Now your going to be busy!!! Lucky there is an extra long weekend coming up. Our housewarming is the weekend after that, so we'll be making the most of it. 15 pots just for the outside render, or is that also for inside? We argued too much and I just gave into DH, it looks ok its not ugly and the main thing is that it is finished now. Re: ZARLI'S BUILD...2nd PCI & possible keys on Monday :) 383Apr 07, 2011 8:10 pm LeanneR Yeah they have done an awesome job. I noticed some render missing from sides of house so sent an email and within 2 days they had it fixed. Impressive! I'm 10 weeks pregnant almost - I'll announce on Facebook after my 12 week scan which is on my birthday (April 27th). Yep crazy to be painting but don't have much choice really! Leanne PLease dont do the sealer! it's highly toxic-ish errm fumes. not healthy at all. HUbby made himself quite ill doing ours. Be very careful. You need windows open and someone who IS NOT pregnant to do the sealer if at all possible. Re: ZARLI'S BUILD...KEYS TOMORROW :) 384Apr 07, 2011 8:11 pm Great news about the keys Zarli. Sounds like a weekend for celebrating. Re: ZARLI'S BUILD...KEYS TOMORROW :) 385Apr 07, 2011 9:19 pm Kexkez - I already told DH I can't do sealer only problem is we have no one to help him so I feel bad Yay keys Zarli!!!!
