T the painter continued today, mainly working on coating the render and the bay window. Dare I say it – is the house started to gain a little ‘street appeal’?
The scaffolders dismanted the rest of the scaffold. On the far left at the top of the picture you finally get a decent view of the new dormer on the top floor. Must take a better picture tomorrow. The roofers repaired the tiles on the lower rear roof.
Discarded broken tiles.
They didn’t have quite enough reclaimed tiles to repair that broken corner tile so they will be back next week.
Edwardian House Renovation 
Is grey grey final colour for your timbers? We keep bickering, I want ours grey, but apparently it ‘has’ to be black.
No – that’s just the undercoat. Gloss black is the way forward here at Edwardian House Renovation. The Victorians always did mock-Tudor as black and white, though the Tudors usually left the timber to grey naturally and the limewash was often tinted – pinkish or yellowish – due to the minerals they used.
