Guess it depends on the available trades... After seeing how good your paint looks, I want to see it all painted!!

Our paint went on before tiles. Are they gonna paint over the tiled skirtings. I hope its not messy. Re: Simonds Sierra in SA - Tiling nearly done! 1036Aug 28, 2014 8:29 pm Hahahaha I hope not! I've seen a few people on here have their tiles done before paint and they haven't mentioned anything... I guess it's messy either way. You paint first you have tilers grouting on wall paint and close to freshly done walls... They can clean it off pretty easily I'd imagine, in both instances. Happy moving day for tomorrow justheart!!!
