W I P

Work in progress!!! Since starting real work in the outside world the work on the house has slowed a little. The plastering in the main bedroom is now all done but i thought i would show you a picture of part of the wall after i had repaired it but before it was plastered. Just so that when i post the picture of it finished it will make me feel like something has been done and hopefully you can all applaud at my attempts to plaster. Perhaps after you have fallen off your chairs with laughter!!!!! It is a "rustic" finish as it is after all an old house!!! My excuse and i am sticking to it!!! Next job for the weekend is to get back on knees and finish tiling the kitchen floor so that luscious can go and order the new kitchen that she has always wanted. I think it features chestnut units and a black granite work surface...think i will let them install it... don't fancy cutting granite especially as shall we say the walls aren't exactly straight.. well....lunch over, back to work...hey ho..... Posted by Picasa

    You know, you could flog that picture as an old impressionist painting and make a fortune. No-one would ever realize it was just the wall of your house.

    r.j: Hadn't looked at it from that point of view, perhaps you would like to be my agent for a 10% commission. shall we say sell at 1,000,000 dollars. there must be an american out there daft enough to buy it?

    Ally: warmth still reaching me thank you. Strangely we haven't even seen any tiling i have been putting up stud partitioning and suspended ceilings in an old house which is a bit bizarre as he said he wanted me to do some tiling. Ah well, money is good for here so i will just keep taking it!
