DIY again after work – exhausted. Second and final coat of paint on the electric cupboards in the dining room tomorrow night. Then have to spend time, very carefully cutting out and replacing ripped wallpaper which came off when I very, very slowly removed the masking tape from wood filling the gaps in top of old skirting board – I could have cried last night. Maybe it was because its very old wallpaper, who knows, but DIY and me don't really make a good match! All the pine floorboard gaps are now filled for insulation before the carpet is fitted on Friday afternoon, this took forever to do over a few days.
I also need to prep and lightly sand the blue painted walls in the front porch (joins onto dining room) before the carpet is laid, ready for painting at a later date. I don't really want sanded blue paint flying about with a new pale wool carpet! I had hoped to get the porch painted before the carpet is laid, but run out of time. Ordered and paid for the two large sheets of insulation board, which my builder is collecting for me this week and he is going to fit this into the alcove next to the back of the four bookcases (that are in living room) in readiness for me to put together the other four bookcases for the dining room.
The garden is now looking untidy as not had time to strim and cut the grass or do any weeding. Its difficult to fit everything when you are working – will aim to tackle this at the weekend. The rest of the weekend will be starting to put the four bookcases together. Goodnight!
