Colour Me Wrong (Part 11)

How difficult is it to get the colours of a small double storey terrace house wrong? Especially after the house owners have specified their choice of colours IN WRITING, ON A SHEET OF PAPER?

Well, apparently quite easily for Mr Contractor.

As the "Paint Team", three Indonesian men were sent over to paint our house. They have been working quite swiftly, preparing the walls of our house for the final layer of paint. They have been working hard, no doubt, though the house is not that large to begin with. However, (and yet again) Mr Contractor had failed to give proper instructions as to what our instructions meant, and our Indonesian friends mixed up the colours for Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3.

Mr Contractor has since instructed Indonesian friends to correct the mistake but we suspect we have not seen the last of this category of mistakes. For 3 days later, we walked into a yellow house, coloured yellow on the inside!!

At the very least this project is "interesting".
