bedroom 2 - was being used as a 'box room'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dave's been in the spare bedroom this week - decorating it, not because I've thrown him out of our room or anything! - and it's already looking very different to how it was at the beginning of the week.

It's been cleared out of all the 'junk' (doesn't take long to build up, does it?) - and we've stripped the wallpaper off (yes, me as well!). Dave's now poly-filled in all the marks and dents in the wall because we're just going to paint the plastered walls - a lovely beige and dusty pink - yes, I know - a bit girly but it'll look fabby

...trust me, I've chosen the colours before and they really work - believe me, they really do...

ME ;0)

...Week Twenty-Four...

WOW! The dining room is now finished - well, it still needs the flooring to be laid but we're undecided what to put down. Dave says carpet but I know that people still like laminate and as we're going to be selling it as soon as the paint's dry I think that's the way to go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But we don't need to make the final decision until the whole place is finished as we always have all the flooring laid in one go and the end of the project so that the carpets don't get mucky while another room's being torn apart and then they look like new when the viewers come round.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...see, we've done this before...

...Week Twenty~Three...

Dave & I were away all of last week visiting friends & relations in Kent so the dining room is pretty much in the same state as last week. Dave has however got straight back to it on Monday & the ceiling is now all painted and I'll be putting up the very pretty orb lampshade soon - it's all about the detailling, you know -

before work started on back door side


painting underway on garage door

As promised Dave's finished painting the garage door and the front of the garage this week. The previous owners had already painted it, so he's having to redo it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He's also done one side of the bungalow, but the weather started to deteriorate so he's come back inside and continued in the dining room. All the walls are now stripped of the horrid wallpaper and they have been rubbed down, washed & filled for wallpaper to go back up! He's also had to knock some of the wall out around the french doors and replaster because the doors were so badly put in that you could see daylight around the frame & the walls were so uneven!!

He's replaced skirting board too because it's either rotten or just doesn't match the rest in the room -- some people just don't have an eye for detail, do they??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So once again another room is taking shape nicely and will soon be transformed
