 :o is the paint just a textured paint over the foamcore James? Or is it a low grit goop? It has a nice texture but not too much ;)

Cheers

It's a textured masonry paint called Santex (basically emulsion with bits in). It's getting increasingly difficult to get hold of but luckily I've got a 5ltr tub that should last till I snuff it  :D

Posh house is done and already packed up ready to go.

Only a couple of photos for now as I'm knackered and need to go to bed  lol







Got a couple more to do next but I'm off on holiday from tomorrow so they'll have to wait  :)

cheers

Looks lovely.  The variation in tile colours really sells the roof.

Very swish, sir.
I like it!

I bet there is a tiny little estate agent out there somewhere who has it earmarked as a holiday home.
