Busy

The start of a busy weekend at our rented/student house. The primary target is to remove the ceiling tiles from the hall, stairs & landing and the bathroom. Initial investigations a little while ago indicated that the wallpaper was held on in places with nothing more adhesive than hope.

The decorating has thus expanded to reattaching/patching wallpaper and painting it. It will be pragmatic in nature and will win no prizes (except perhaps in a minimalist version of Changing Rooms), but it'll be an improvement as our predecessor seems to have painted everything with a large roller, and clearly expected sockets, switches, coathooks and doorbells to move out of his way...

It'll be an opportunity to pass on the life skill of the papering of ceilings to M.

We're moving out to a B&B for the nights - for a fresh shower and relief from the smell of paste & emulsion - and the garden of the B&B is where this was taken.
