Tooooo Cold for gardening

While the weather is on the cold side at the moment, I thought I would have a go at doing the Hall, Stairs and Landing.
It has been stripped of wallpaper, and ready for a blind coat of paint to show up the imperfections.
Then I shall fill all holes and dents, smooth down and do another coat.
Finally the top coat of a nice crisp white coat of paint to bring light and a clean look to the areas.
Wood will be washed down and then Satinwood applied to freshen this up.

 

I had better not let the wife see this thread she just mentioned "decorating" the other day

 

Any chance your Skoda can work up to 60mph so you can come and give my walls the once over landimad?

Mrs Landi is soooo going to be cooking you your favourite meal after all that work

 

We need to decorate soon . I am OK once I get started.....but its hard to get motivated when its cold . Wish you hadn't mentioned it Landimad , I'm feeling guilty and bone idle now !

 

Had to push myself Harry as the decorating has been on hold for ten years now.

 

Glad to hear you are not rushing into it landimad That's when mistakes happen: rushing things

 

All stripped and now first coat half way round, yukkey stuff being a soak in coat.

 

We don't want to know how you got on getting dressed: how is the decorating going?

 

one coat and then another must be cold

 

Both coats on and sweating now still looks like its snowed inside though

 

Just come across what those in the trade call laughter plaster.
Have to remove a large section of this around some architrave to make good.
I hate people who do half a job and then cover it up with wallpaper.

 

You and me both Landimad. I hate bodgers too.
