Painting Prep - a team effort!





Well the walls are all up, and we've primed and got everything ready. Dave had words with his builder, for basically stuffing around, not watching his boys and doing a shoddy job. As a result, he's not coming back on site. Problem is there are sections where the dry walling has been screwed in, and they didn't tighten some of the screws and have put polyfilla over them, but even when you sand them down, the heads of the screws are sticking out. James and I had to go over all the walls today, trying to fix up. We managed to find a cheaper paint that is actually a roof paint and 100% acrylic to paint the ceilings and walls at only R500 for 20 litres as opposed to R1200 for 20 litres, only thing is it doesn't have the greatest coverage and requires 3 coats. Still at the price, I don't mind, but its kak painting ceilings!
