Lock up... I could no longer walk through the house unless I managed to get there when tradies were there working. Which was rare as I was at work most of the time.
Internal doors, skirting timbers, architraves and cornice all went up next. I decided to ask my site supervisor to leave the skirting timbers off in the main living areas and hallway as I am installing the flooring myself after handover and prefer a seamless look.
Generally these are installed (nailed and glued on, so quite a challenge to remove) and then people install their flooring and then have a strip of 'beading' added. although its not a bit deal and most people wouldn't notice, its one of those things that would just irk me. Its just a personal preference.
So basically what that all means is there are strips of uncut skirting timber left behind and once I install my flooring I will also cut and install the skirting boards myself. Bit of extra work, but I believe worth it.
Hoepfully I don't regret it later haha.
Oh yes much better to put the skirting on after the floor. That beading would annoy me too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree Nat! fingers crossed ill be able to get a good finish installing them myself afterwards x
