I'm not Chrissssssssssssssssss but Chris Higglypigglypoo type of thingy. The scent today is probably a mixture of plaster, sawdust and white spirit. Mmm.
Takes an age doesn't it? I like DIY, but I don't like laborious jobs like painting edging and sanding 'specially but hand. I enjoy using power tools though and had a lot of fun cutting, fitting and planing all the doors at our old place.
Tedious, mind numbing and crap are three things that come to mind. The painting is a bit better than the preparation especially with totally shitty walls like this house has. Taken an age to get them smooth enough to paint.
I think I'm /finally/ ready to paint the room! Been 4 evenings of sanding and filling and more sanding and more filling. At least the first two nights were slightly helped by the consumption of wine. Now I have none apart from a small amount at the bottom of a bottle which is probably full of dust now :(
Well after all that sanding the paint I used has left a terrible finish in places, bubbled on some of the filler and pulled filler off in other places. Dulux Once! Crap! Only because the colour we wanted was only available in Once or I would have used the normal stuff. Pffff.
