We'd like to repaint our apartment (3 rooms) and a hall way. Two of the rooms have a floor area of around 15m2 and the other around 9m2 the hallway is 3m2. The paint is peeling off on some walls and there is need for some additional prep work in some areas where you can see 3 layers of old paint has chipped off. Most of the walls are in good condition. If possible I'd also like to screet the walls in the one room as it has textured plaster.
Would like to add a dining area(4x2) and a 3rd bedroom(3x4) with a carport of about 4x5.5m. The carport to have garage door as an entrance. We have a back door in the kitchen, so would like to add the extension on from the kitchen. Please see attached rough idea of what I would like, no plans as yet.
