After lots of time choosing and deciding on an exterior render colour the house is now ready.
Firstly they put a base coat of cement on the walls by hand...
claire had a comment from one friend to say 'the house looks good, I bet it will look lovely when it's painted.' Luckily, the grey colour is only the base.
We chose the render colour from a small colour chart...
They then masked all the windows, soffits and doors with polythene before they sprayed the render over the surface.
they then smoothed the rough render with a level
Justin had employed three excellent 'renderers'. Originally from Romania, they worked extremely hard. The got the base coat on the house over Easter and finally finished at about 8:30 the following Tuesday.
It was a very messy job but the end result is exactly what we had been looking for. The colour is called 'chalk'.
With the balcony in place the house is now really starting to look exactly the way we had planned it 2 years ago.
