Paint prep started, portico feature and more

26/11/09: It was finally great to see something happen at the house today, I was beginning to think nothing more was ever going to get done. When my fiancé arrived this afternoon the painter was there prepping the house to start the painting on Saturday. He is very concerned that our internal paint colour "whitebox quater" will be darker than what we want inside and has suggested that we halve the "whitebox quater." This is something we need to discuss tonight as he will be ordering the paint tomorrow.

There were a few other things done today on the house as well. The wood feature on the portico was done today, we are getting that wood stained along with the wood in the feature gable to match the garage door. When my fiancé was talking to him about this he said that because the front door is lighter that the other wood he will do something to make it match best as possible to the feature wood. I've only met the painter once and spoken to him on the phone once, but he seems like a great guy, one that likes what he does. He is willing try his best to help you out with your paint choices and is willing to make any changes you may want before he starts painting.

One other thing to get done today were the pillars in the main ensuite, this is one thing we were hanging out to see what they would look like. Now that we have seen them in real life we love them, we can't wait to see it all painted.
