I wish that all it took were these two words to open our front door 'cause we have been officially locked out. Met the carpenter, Wayne this morning. A really friendly and pleasant guy. He was there to install the doors, architraves and skirting boards. Luckily I met him because he had no idea that we wanted the skirting boards tacked on lightly so that we can remove them for the installation of the wooden floors. I sent our SS an email last week, he must have forgotten to mention it to Wayne. He was glad I told him and he even showed Ben how to remove the skirting boards easily. He also wanted to know what wardrobe doors we were going to have because he needed to adjust the fitting of the skirting board if we were getting sliding doors. He also offered to let the tiler know to adjust the tiling in the laundry to allow for sliding doors to the linen cupboard as well. He was finishing all the architraves in the wet areas so that the tiler can start his work. Wayne will be working on the house for the next few days.

The eaves were been painted today as well. That should be finished by the afternoon. Hoping my next post is "seductive". Stay tuned, you'll know what I mean when you read it.
Looks awesome Thigee! Is your front door stained already?
ReplyDeleteI think Eden Brae are doing a great job having so much happening at once. Would love to know the trick for the best way of taking off tacked on skirting - we didn't think to ask that:)
ReplyDeleteOur skirting is on and we can still put our floorboards on without taking the skirting off ;) Our installers will just put a timber piece to the cover the joint between the skirting and the floorboards..so kylie no need to worry!
ReplyDeleteTonia, the front door is not stained yet. It will be stained a dark brown, they call it chocolate. Yes, I just came back from seeing Trishen at Just Floors and he said that you can also use the trim if there is a gap between the skirting and floorboards.
ReplyDeletelove your front door Thigee! i think we will get the same! My advise to others re flooring; try and organise to remove the skirting before installing the floorboards. It will give you the 'proper' & the best finish. Beading may look like you have cut corners, plus its hiding away the beautiful skirting boards =P
ReplyDeleteHey chaz and deege...we may be getting a new front door for our place and will be selling ours..its the same door as thigees, with transulcent glass...let me know if you are interested in it xo
ReplyDeleteDeege, we have the 1260 x 2410 pivot door Infinity by Corinthian. In regards to the skirting, my husband is determined to remove them before the wooden floors are done. The guys who are installing the floor for us said they are happy to install the cornices once they are finished.
ReplyDeletelooking good Thigee, I agree, floor boards look more polished and professional if there is no skirting on when they are put in, then you can put the skirting in place. perfect!!! and are you teasing us??? what's next???
