Phase II

Well Christmas is fast approaching and the Management have decided that this week is going to be the commencement of Phase II of the redecoration plan. Scale drawings were done and little bitty paper furniture arranged until the master plan was finalised. Now the hard graft starts with the lugging, scraping, sanding, sloshing, papering and all the other -ings needed to get these rooms up to scratch! The choice of flooring is going to be the next decision. Mum is leaning towards Marmoleum as the preferred material. I would have been happy with a bit of laminate but we will have to see what the difference in price is. Phase II also includes the laundry room which will receive the standard wall and ceiling treatment and then have a nice functional finish (the one that we saw from Ikea Sarah).


Made sure I did some before shots this time.


Before again.



Starting to clear... its better already!

The guest room is like a bomb site again but the in-house technician managed to have only minimal downtime on the internet connection. 11:46 to 12:01 the internet was officially unavailable at No. 3, but normal service was soon restored. The broadband is currently being beamed wirelessley from my router to a £10 USB access point. Its cheaper than a cable long enough to do the same job! You can all breathe easily though, the nerve centre of No. 3 is still in full operation despite being spread over a large area of the room next door.

More updates as and when.
