We are now allowed to mention the G word.
The back of the house is being painted green (Joanna Olive Green, in case you were wondering).
It looks a bit like this:
We like.
It’s a bit hard to get a decent colour match for a piccy…
And it’s amazing what a difference a bit of shade makes – you’d swear the paint on opposite walls was a different colour.
So, it’s kind of finished.
They still need to install the chlorinator, which apparently they do in four weeks time (after letting the coating gunk do its thing). Pool usable in the meantime, though, so I guess it’s a win.
Also, night shot:
Did we ask for blue lights? I don’t remember. I think we would’ve asked for white.
I guess now we can pretend we’re on a spaceship while we swim :-).
Well, charcoal.
The pool guys seem to be trying this crazy new thing called “working.”
They were at the house yesterday and did the MarbleMadness thing to the insides, so now it’s dark grey.
Today they’re supposed to be coming back and finishing up a bit, and filling it up.
With water.
Some inside shots, demonstrating the “natural, mountain look” on the disclaimer form:
Well, gosh. Not only did they turn up, but they actually did some work – revolutionary!
Shame that the recoved corner bits (from 500mm to something like 200mm) are sagging in places. Ahem.
At least the cementy guys are (allegedly) coming back today.
And rumours have it that the pump / filter bods will be there too.
Well, there have been some good things going on recently in the house. We cleared up a whole bunch of junk in both the inside and outside spare room type rooms. Floor! Space! All this, and more, can be yours.
Also:
Wine rack re-installed
(Yay! No more piles of cardboard boxes in the hallway.
Now we just need to: buy lots more wine to fill it up; put something cool on the wall next to it).
Jo made an awesome coat rack (pictured here naked) in the hallway, round the corner
(Yay! No more wild coats roaming the hall, grazing on the cardboard boxes).
In other news: we are considering painting the outside of the house.
Probably green.
Maybe just the back bit.
Colour splats, applied today:
The two on the right are starting to look like the right kind of thing…
More samples, senor!
They can dig.
They can’t arrive on time, though – they were an hour late!
So far unimpressed, but we shall see…
(last one for today. got a bit carried away…)
