DIY 4

A very long time since I wrote so here is a catch-up.

Washroom door bricked up - looks very nice if I say so myself; all electrics moved and working; all plumbing moved and working; washroom plastered waiting for painting; new washroom door installed waiting for final coat of paint; new ceiling in the pantry and plasterboard on the walls waiting to be skimmed. Doesn't sound an awful lot but believe me, it was! I decided to skim the washroom on what was possibly the hottest day of the year so far! During the work, Joan had to mop the sweat from my eyes as it was stinking so much!

What's left to do? Constructing a hatch in the pantry ceiling (for access to the electrics), skim the walls, dig out the floors and concrete, put skirting board in, erect kitchen paneling, order units and install, tiling and finishing off. Yep, I think that's it!

If you've read the DIY blogs you might think that it's taken so much time that I might as well have got someone in and I would agree, it would have been quicker, but I do like to do it myself as I find it relaxing and fulfilling. I know J wanted it done well before now but she knows it will get done and be done to a very high standard besides, it has had a very beneficial effect on my waste line!

More when I have time.
