Day 67 & 68

Day 1 of painting covered the top level with about 2 layers of paint and the 2nd level with 1 layer, which used up 1 bucket of the Davies Sun & Rain Pale Nile paint. The swatch color of the Pale Nile showed a more greener hue but in reality it has more yellow-ish hue in it. 

The painting of the entire roof only took about a day and a half. Today was the full day of painting. They also had to remove the scaffolding to be able to completely paint the roof. Shown here are two of our workers working on the areas once covered by the scaffolding. Quite acrobatic, aren't they?

Painting on more layers all around the roof. 

Painting on the 2nd layer of paint on the patio roof portion. 

Here's the breakdown of how much we used to build the roof:

CEMENT = 120 bags

POWDERED WATERPROOFER mixed in with the cement = 120 packets

SAND = 18 cubic meters or 6 truck loads (about 1/3 were not used after sieving)

BOSTIK cementitious waterproofer= 20 buckets

PAINT = 21 buckets

We still have to paint the 12 posts which will probably use 2 buckets of paint. We had to buy our paint from 3 stores because they do not carry enough of one color in each place. The problem we found was the colors did not match although it was supposedly the same Pale Nile color. One was greener, the other was yellower. Thankfully once the paint was applied the difference was not too obvious.
