Like living on a building site....we get a day off from the workmen tomorrow... they back on Thursday,  have to empty the kitchen again, and (God knows why 🤔) they have turned our gas off, good thing it's a bit milder.

They ripped down the old ceilings in the kitchen & bathroom, and put up new (the guy said) mould resistant plasterboards, and plastered it today.......needs skimming when it's dried..

No heating and damp plaster in March? Are they trying to finish you off? 😆

It's a toss up between them, or my wife finishing me off 1st. 😂

It's the associated dust and dirt that accompanied ripping down the old ceilings, loads came out of the roof space too..........and its nowhere near over with yet. 😔

That sort of disruption does your head in.....you can't relax in your own house.

Hopefully it will feel lovely and smooth and clean when they’re done. 

Looks like they’re doing a good job?

The guys do their best to clear up the mess they make, but it's the dust that's floating around, a hour after they have left it settles on every surface.....

Be a good thing when it's all done, but that may be the middle of next week, then I can think about decorating both rooms.....

We have to put coasters on the top of our cups of tea.....or we get a film of dust on them if we don't. 😂

I’m with you on that. 

I don’t think I ever want to paint anything ever again. 

And I downed tools halfway through doing one job which is a bit problematic 😆

Half the trouble is the doors in the bungalow are wheelchair friendly, they are way much wider than standard door, they take a age to paint.

Can you take them off the hinges and paint them flat?

They will come off easily, but nowhere to stand them while they dry.....with it being a 1 bedroom bungalow we are very short of space.

I will paint them without removing them, I will hate every minute of doing it though. 😡

Blowing a gale here but at least it is dry, I have the back end of the bike in bits at the moment fitting my latest accessory, so all things being equal that will be done today and tomorrow afternoon looks like good riding weather.
