Yeah!!!...We are back on schedule! Our decorators have arrived and over the course of the next 3 weeks they will re-paint every little bit of the house...fill in screw holes and skim the ceilings!
They arrived last week (Thursday) and have already finished the exterior! But again they are Germans so what do you expect!! I have to say it's looking fab. The black wood as a wonderful sheen to it. Like the rest of the time they taken great attention to detail. Everything is fully masked (they even have a strange dispenser for this!). When we called down last night they were working on the inside....one german decorator was walking around using the ladders as stilts! He did make me chuckle!
I also met the curtain lady yesterday. Any huf owner will tell you that curtains are a nighmare in these houses with the triangular shaped windows. I think we are opting panel blinds using a local supplier from our home town ( Lancaster ). I'll let you know how that works out!
We also met up with the driveway people. I really want the landscaping at the front of the house sorting before we move in. We've opted for a tarmac driveway that sweeps around and leads into the carport. Our plan is to have a lot of greenery and mature planting to the front with the entrance being flanked by lavender beds and a polished granite walkway. Fingers crossed it all comes together!
Anyway next job today is to meet up with Rudiker (site supervisor). I'll let you know in my next post how we get on!!
