Nearly a house again....... I Hate Painting
Check it out!! We have proper plastered and painted walls (and ceilings!!) my back is killing me!
It took us seven attempts to get the colour for the chimney wall- we ended up using Farrow and Balls French Gray, which is as you can see a very green grey- classy!
The rest of the walls we have painted white, nice and clean, it might change one day but for now its a blank canvas.
The thing next to the chimney is a de-humidifier, the plasterer said it would be up to two weeks before we could paint but after having that on for a week it was ready. Not sure how it does it but it sucks all of the moisture out of the room- I emptied twenty liters of water out of it!- twenty liters, that is a lot of water. We worked in there for the night with it on and when we got back to our lodgings (my parents house) our hands looked like we had been sitting in a bath for a couple of hours!
The carpets are ordered and should be ready this week so its on with the skirting board tonight and get the thresholds in!
The doors have all been removed as well and they are being taken to the "strip shop" to be dipped in a big vat of acid, I think the Victorian doors will look wicked stripped back to the wood as they have about twelve coats of gloss on them!
