Still more to go

The motorised roller blinds and external awnings were installed earlier in the week but unfortunately the electrics to the house was not turned on as phase 3 needed to be switched on at the power pole. This was done on the Tuesday so the Sparkys returned to finish off any work and test all electrics in and outside the house. 

On the Friday the blind company returned to install the plantation shutters and calibrate the blinds only to find that the external awnings were not feeding into the track correctly. So a return trip was needed to fix these and calibrate the internal rollers as well once the fabric has straightened out. I must say the shutters look fantastic!

The repainting that was required was done during this week, plus the external doors and garage façade was also completed. Overall unfortunately we haven’t been impressed with the painting quality nor timeframes. They really dragged it out and we have found a number of spots where only 1 (possibly 2) coats of paint were applied when there should be 3. Also they dripped paint onto our floors and fittings – not impressed!
