Homestead update November


The patio painting is almost done, the guttering will be installed as soon as I compare quotes. The old aluminum guttering is still good and I am tempted to reuse it but I am afraid that after 15 years leaks might occur. So I am looking at some seamless gutters. The garden will be the last on the list.
Patio lattice finished painting and waiting to hang the gates.
The walls are done with a coral stone rendering and have blown in some areas so I have to repair them. 
 The ceilings are painted in a pale green.
 I decided to paint the bedroom doors in this blue while the wood partitions are in a pale yellow.
 One of the workers spilled a can of paint, paint was everywhere.
 Bathroom floor tiles, I chose a wood plank tile. I am aiming for a rustic type bathroom.
 For the feature wall, I am trying to choose a tile that will add some rusticity and won't clash with the floor. I like the far right tile. Which would you choose? Tile selection is difficult and exhausting for me.

I don't think I will be upstairs for the Christmas season going by how things are going. I have been repairing walls the last mason ruined and it has been a slow process. This is because the present mason can only work Sundays as he is busy on another job. I don't want to take another chance with another mason. This is how things are done on this island. You have to pay twice to get things done right. Aaaaaggggghhhhhh!  And the dust from cutting the walls is everywhere. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
