Nothing like stating something publicly to get one going.
Been a while since I renovated an entire Rosebud house (inside and out) with my friend Ali S. I so enjoyed the wrecking side of the job. But each part had it's joys and pitfalls.
Forgot though how long the prep work takes. And as for enamel painting. Far out. The arm and back is buggered and I am only half way.
Had to make a start on the windown frame before the helpers arrived as I wanted the windows to be dry to close. So started with the top half. May even get the pelment back up as well. I might get lucky.
Being white on white and in the sunlight you may not see the difference, but boy what an instant lift it does make. Will try for a better shot later on when I do the doors where you will get to see the full impact.
In the meantime, my cherubs have arrived and have started cutting in on the feature wall. We may have to make a dash for the paint shop as Imay not have enough to do that second coat. So cutting in first just in case the shops are shut and then I can roll on my own tomorrow. Well that's the plan.
This is worker cherub who I appreciate very much cutting in at skirting level. My bones just wouldn't cope any more. Better him than me.
And...
The other Boss cherub making sure the job is done just right.
She is so thrilled at my documenting this entire project!
Ah, the love of a child is so precious.
Meanwhile, other child is playing guitar, but little does he know that he will be sanding the cupboard doors next! A job that he is sure to enjoy immensely.
Well, I have achieved what I wanted to do and that is get me to do what needed to be done while the weather allowed.
Last will be resanding the skirting boards and the cupboard doors as well as both sides of the bedroom door. May as well get the corridor side started. Then the enamel paint on said skirting. Now that will be fun for me. Fine cutting in to be done here at floor level. I can see massive amounts of back massages being needed during this process.
And by making my new bedroom door newly painted, thus looking vastly different to the rest of the corridor will help motivate me to get that done next after the domino effect project after the bedroom is fully painted and fitted out.
One thing always leads to another.
Just finished the other half of painting the window frame.
Just in the nick of time before the sunset!
At least this part is done and dusted and looking like I will be in said bedroom before Christmas.
Now this will be a wonderful gift to self!
For the third and last time today,
Cheers
Anita - till next my instalment.
