What have I been up to, well lots… but nothing really to show for all my graft… I did take a week off on holiday and I did keep a bit of a log, I did intend to start on the shower and finish the hallway but despite my best efforts I...
I’ve only had a day or two over the past fortnight to work on the house so what has been done is little and nothing. The hall is almost finished, though. The finish is rather nice, the walls and skirting have been done with aplomb, they look great. I now look on...
Well phew, I’ve not posted in ages that’s a hall too far Rather than my usual thousand-odd words on how I painted a wall, I’ll be brief. I’ll try to keep to the point and I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Basically, I got the lighting finished and sorted in the...

Beautiful stairwell featuring an Ikea PS 2014 light fitting – taking another week off from work. Friday 30th April I got home this evening not in the best sorts, I don’t know why I was just in a bad mood with everything. It didn’t help matters even that I’d just started a...
