Wet Paint!

So the rain yesterday decided that it would be too wet for the concreting of the driveway to take place, and today looks just as wet so the current plan is that the gardener will come back on Sunday to finish the job. Not a problem as with the hedge gone it is now already much easier to get into the driveway.

Inside last night after work we set about doing yet more gloss painting in the hallway. We are on the home stretch with this now and the room is really looking much brighter. 

The difficult bit last night and this morning was keeping one slightly dippy dog away from wet door frames and skirting boards. Not very easy but so far we have managed to keep him paint free.

The plan for this weekend is to get the last coat of paint on the downstairs woodwork tomorrow morning before we head out somewhere with the dog and then we will start the wall papering in the downstairs section of the hallway on Sunday. It will be nice to finally see some paper on the walls.

  1. Great job keeping Sydney clean!! Our hall and stairs need decorating. I started stripping it years ago, but my disability got worse and it has never been finished (pity, as a quote to do it is eye watering). My big worry is what to do with our indoor cat for about a week and a half. Current thinking is to have it done when it should be better weather and DH can take her into the garden, otherwise she will have to be confined to the front room with me.

  2. We are in year three of this hallway project. After the flush of work at the start we lost interest!

    It is all coming together now though. It wont be long before it is finished. We are on the home stretch.
