Scaffolding down ... but render issues.

Those who have read our earlier posts will know all the fuss around our scaffolding and the powerlines, so when the scaffolding came down today it marked the end of a difficult phase.

The house looks great (well we think so) but if you look at the rear side view you can see that the render and down pipes are a different shade. They are both "Paperbark" but the colour of the downpipes is closer to what we were expecting. For whatever reason, "paperbark" is darker on the render. In full sunlight, the difference is minor but when it's overcast, it is very obvious. We even prefer the colour of the un-painted render over the painted one but, as is the recurring theme in this blog, it's not important in the big scheme of things. Maybe it will be less obvious to us once the garden is established.
