Carpentry and Painting touchups

Quite long nver update. but these past one week have been a week to do touch ups and such tat.

Carpentry is needs to touch up.our wardrobe needs alot of touching up.not tat good.
the rest of the carpentry also hav to touch up. like feature wall and tv console.

Painting also hav to touch up on a few walls due to specks of paints on some walls tat can be seen clearly.Our kitchen wall (after hacking) is also rough or not smoothen properly b4 painting, so hav to redo.

I was at the house today alone and the painter came in. looks like a foreigner like thai/myanmese but speaks good english.

I was able to communicate with him and told him all the areas tat need to touch up.

I also learn something abt painting during this renovation.

From there i gather is, some touchups they will use paint brush and the effect is different from using a roller brush to paint. So best is use small rollers so tat ur wall will not have the look of being touchups. can tell them to use masking tape to protect so tat they can use small rollers. corners they will hav to use paint brush to touch up.

If you have rough surface or broken surface, you will need to use those white material to fill up, smoothen with their metal spade and then repaint over . preferably with roller if your wall hav being done up with roller brush. Rough surface often happen when hacking is involved on your wall, the areas are often not smoothen up as well as you would like and these can be seen at night under lightings (esp orange lights). So go at night to see ur reno paintworks and turn on all ur lights!

Dark colour paints have difficulty of touching up without being seen. so most prob hav to redo the whole wall if you need to. Lighter color paints are easier to touch up.
