Not sure it was that, more me rushing about trying to make up for stuff Mrs Chief hadn't done. Thought I'd have everything nailed by seven and then kick back all evening.

And then ballsing it up, basically.

I ****ing hate papering ceilings.

Right so, my daughter essentially had that 'new bedroom' **** for Christmas.

New dressing table with 'Holywood' mirror or summat, which I had to make the day before then hide in my car then bring in on Christmas eve etc.

Then Mrs Chief redecorated (supposed to have anyway) these last few days and a new double bed arrived, the whole shebang.

I got home from work today and the decoration is half done and they're off out somewhere, but that's not the story.

I've got to take the radiator off so she can paint 'properly' behind.

So this I do, solo.
Anyone whose ever taken a radiator off and drained it will will you what a **** it is, but I pulled it off with relatively little mess.

Then built the bed, put the headboardion, put the furniture back etc. curtains back up. It's Friday evening ffs.

Like a silly **** I also decided to put the heating back on as it's gone cold, then had tea and stuck the telly on.

Shout from the front room, where the Xbox is, is this supposed to be happening.

And there on the ceiling is a football size bubble of water with various drips all along the ceiling.

Now need to redecorate that ceiling too ffs.

(I've drained the bubble, was a bucket full!)

Patching this up today.

No doubt Mrs Chief's dad will appear soon to critique my work.
Mrs luv's dad openly slags off my painting, which is okay tbf. The reason he does this is because I won't let him paint because he still uses a brush and gets paint everywhere.
 
He's more a you should/could have done this, after the fact. Not in any way helpful.

Anyway, done it now, just needs painting. Looks **** currently but should be able to paint the gaps in. Way better than papering the whole ceiling again.

I hate papering, but ceilings are ****ing awful.

Coffee time.

They look like Same doors I'm getting for the gaff, although I went for 3 Panel glazed ones.

Delivery next week

135 a pop the ****s
 
Couldn’t find a hallway table that was the size I wanted and went with our other furniture, so decided to make this. Made the frame at work and had it powder coated and bought the oak top. Just applied the 3rd coat of dark oak stain and reckon it will need at least 3 more to get it to the right colour. Chuffed with it!

Bedroom hallway and living room done, got the bathroom and kitchen floors to do still in lino, then get my new doors on when they arrive next week, my gaff is pretty small so decided on 3 long panel (top to bottom) glazed internal doors throughout the flat to let as much light in as possible.

Quick lick of paint on all the walls before they come I think

These are the doors I went for

Did you do the fascia? Wondering if the timber underneath it's fixed onto was rotten as that would make the job a lot more ****ery.
