The weather this week has been amazing - five days straight of sunshine and breeziness. Perfect painting weather. All week the painters have been up on the scaffolding putting coat after coat on the walls. The ultimate goal was to make the new blockwork seamless with the old. They did a good job trying, but I think we will always be able to see where the old blocks are taken over by the new:
See the transition up there? But that's okay, I think it's kind of important that some parts of the house still tell the 'story' of the earthquake.
I went up yesterday and washed all the windows (it's not very often that we get the chance), and it looked pretty sweet overall.
They also applied a line of grey paint along the edge of the roof tiles, so make them look ultra-sharp.
And with that, the outside of our house is finished. The scaffolding can go away...hopefully for a long time.
