We have the first wallpapers on the walls and ceilings. I am completely thrilled. Astonished. Amazed. =)
We have a turnkey contract, and the painting work with white paint was already included. The section about these works in the construction specifications was somehow 1.5 lines long. When we signed it, I discussed with my husband that we would "take whatever we get."
In our old house, we had Q2 plaster (suitable for wallpapering with woodchip wallpaper) included in the contract. We then outsourced the painting work externally, directly on the Q2 plaster. It was okay, but not perfect – but the painter only charged 5.5k gross, you can't complain about that. We also had the house provider offer us Q3 plaster + painting fleece and white paint... I can't find it anymore, but I think the surcharge was around €15-20k.
Since the new house contract was already pretty much at the pain threshold, we decided to live with the walls we get for now. And what can I say... my contract didn't specify a Q level nor which type of wallpaper we would get. I wanted to ask if we could get something other than classic woodchip wallpaper because I don't like the look – but that became unnecessary when I saw the packages with the rolls in the house. This time our garage is sanded smoother than our entire previous house.
I'm curious how it will look once painted, but so far I find it great. It far exceeds my expectations.
