Well, in a blur of work over the Xmas / New Years period (spurred on by my new flatmate, Venessa moving in shortly), I felt I have to clean up the very dirty middle bedroom. There was a lot more help this time with Dad doing a lot of painting, and Venessa and Kelvin cleaning and painting some walls too. I bought a new $300 double sided ladder yesterday after some persusion by Dad - but it is a god send!!!
At this stage, I have to finish the second coat, do any tidy up bits and also the gloss paint the trims. Unfortunately I couldn't find any before photos :(
There may be some life in my old stumps - I gave Gary two of my rescued stumps. He is going to make them into salt and pepper grinders for me. At this stage two stumps are now 6 pieces
of timber.
After completing most of the painting in the second bedroom, I have the floorboards sanded this morning. Unfortunately, borer damage has been found in approximately 15 lineal metres, which will need replacing. At least the black underlay is finally gone!!! So now I will wait until I paint the main bedroom, lift its carpet and get them sanded, so Gary from Federation Sanding can then order some second hand boards and replace them all at once.
