Home Improvement # 3

I don't think this one requires much explanation... I'll let the pictures do the talking :-)

Home Improvement # 2

OK, after my last post, here's the next set of photos of the bedroom renovations. In here, the skirting has primer on it, likewise most of the window frames [just waiting for the weather to improve to complete this].

The walls have their colour on them. I've decided that painting concrete block walls is not much fun :-) although a couple of walls have both top coats on now. Just waiting for a couple or 3 hours to put the 2nd coat on the remaining walls.

Once this is done I'll be able to put the top coats on the skirting boards, the door, then finish off the window frames.

 

Home improvement

I'm not sure how many of you remember the 1990's sitcom Home Improvement, but I'm been trying to finish off some improvements to my own place. The last room to do [and the first one I am doing mostly by myself...!] is the bedroom. I'll try to not destroy the room as often happened in Home Improvement, although there are times where more power and an enhanced tool or 2 would be nice!

After trying to get motivated for some time, I completed the sanding a few days ago, and today I put some paster on the bits of the wall that needed it [small holes...], put some Selley's No-More-Gaps in a gap [obviously] and put a primer coat of paint on the door.

I'll probably need to leave the plaster until late tomorrow to dry [some of it is a bit thick], then tidy it up. I might get to put the primer coat onto the window frames tomorrow and if things go really well with the plaster, I might get to put the primer on the skirting boards. We shall see!

Anyway, here's a couple of photos of the work in progress. You can just see the wet plaster in the first photo below the left-hand side of the window.
