We are now rid of that encumbering scaffolding. It actually looks much better. The Jury is still out on the balcony issue though. Not sure if it is acceptable or not. It has been admitted that it is not correct, "a design fault", they said. The offer to correct it has been put forward. We are now wondering if it will look worse because the brick piers will be 3 courses higher than the render on the right side of the house, so this could look very out of place. We shouldn't even be IN this position of having to choose the lesser of two evils. It should have been designed properly in the first place. There is still something not right with those posts even though we have had the colour changed. Those wooden posts seem to be at odds with the industrial type railing. It's a bit like The Waltons meets The Terminator...
