Yes, it is.

Master Bedroom

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Done! (Well, as always, there’s still work left – the guy we got in to do the wallpaper has managed to get a couple of bubbles in it, so we will have to see if anything can be done about those, and we still have to get someone to do the skirting board replacement at some stage, but it’s certainly done to the point where it’s liveable, and much more so than before!)

Master Bedroom Day 5

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Painting of the walls completed, some minor painting of woodwork remaining. 3 of the 4 lights back in place, one has some minor patching remaining. Radiator back in place, and hot water system re-pressurised. New blind and curtains in place. Almost there! (Yes, there's one wall that's not been painted...)

Master Bedroom Day 4

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Ceiling completed with a coat of magic pink paint! (Hopefully, it will dry white as advertised...)

Most of the walls painted - just a few places where the patching of cracks etc. is still ongoing (the cold weather is extending the drying time).

Terrible!

Worst. Joke. Ever.

Shame, Jake, shame!
