So a few of the stages we've been talking about haven't been accompanied by photographs so now that I had a few minutes I figured I'd add them now. These first few are from the episode of the first painters. The ones that came and just pretended to know what they were doing. I think you can see why we were upset.
The things you can see that are masked off happened AFTER the pseudo-painters had been there but you can see the lack of workmanship.
Once the "painters" were sent away we discovered that they had begun painting without properly preparing the walls. Our contractor had a drywall team come in to texture the walls. However when they were done we found more than a few issues with the work they had preformed. Time honoured tradition says that you mark such issues with blue masking tape so they might be addressed. Large areas of problems are completely surrounded by tape.
The number of pieces of blue tape began to multiply drastically.
It was beginning to be down right depressing. Every where we looked were mistakes or poor workmanship. Progress ground to a halt. Nothing what so ever was happening and every time we spoke with Zac he would make us promises that would then not be fulfilled. We were beginning to get a bit miffed.
And then this happened!
Suddenly the texturing was complete, the work was done exceptionally well and just like that the little blue marks had vanished.
And things began to look a whole lot better.
It is amazing to see this room all one colour! No wallpaper stains, no tobacco stains, no cracks, no pits and NO yellow!!!
So far we are very pleased with the colour.
