I'm so done with hospitals for the next 10 years or so... The walls are Dulux Bleaches, and trims and ceiling Lexicon Half. Timber doors will be stained Cabots Charcoal. The painter is going to grab some sample pots to make sure Black Caviar is right - we have some black glitter wallpaper going on the inset he needs to match it to. I don't do spiders. Especially extra large, extra fat ones.

Doesn't look much different - the painters didn't work Thursday -Tuesday, and only 1 guy there today. Nothing happened outside either. Spoke with SM today though and he said cabinetry finally going in on Monday, benches the Friday after. Painters should be finished by Friday except for staining. Big week ahead. Amusingly, he asked me what was going on at the house as it was his first day back from Easter today haha. I said the render hadn't been done and he was not impressed, as it was supposed to happen last week. Said he would call him straight after our conversation to sort that out...

The weather was not kind to us, bucketing down one weekend and washing away our footings, and bucketing down again last night. But part 1 is DONE, and part 2 will follow at some point in the future!!
