Thanks Iain :D

Iiiiiiain what flooring did you use? Looks like the planks are grooved to look like real wood... Like that

[Iain]

Just some that was on offer at B&Q about £12/sqm I think. Thinner boards to make the room look larger. Slightly textured but not too much and a slight groove between the boards too.

^^ sounds a bit like 'karndean' flooring

Today's antics primer coat in hallway on fresh new plaster.

Looking good^

I've had the wall floor boards up. Sealed up the holes around the fuse box routing thru the floor. Found there was no insulation in there so stuffed it full. Put all the board back down, changing to longer philips screws to hold them down better. Did more gloss work on the bits over the stairs.

Finished stripping the paint off all the door frames, made a start with the bits on the stairs.

My gloss turned yellow when I used some Wilkos paint my brother told me to get some brand I can't remember the name of (helpful ain't I ) and it's still nice and white now

Would that be Johnsons? We've started using that although I hate DIY, if it hasn't got 4 wheels, I'm not really interested.
Missus is after the Bathroom redoing next year, so might add a few pictures in here, that's after we put the kitchen back together again after the Dishwasher spat its dummy (and I'm not saying the missus did!) and too a piss all over the floor.
She wants some coving in the Spare room as well with a freshen up on the paint as well.

Now, I personally think that after 8 years since we moved in and decorated nothing needs doing..... Her on the other hand, something each year now.... the list is a long one, Carpets downstairs, new doors through out, new gate outside.

That's something I learnt quick when living with a woman. The house is like the Forth Rail Bridge - once you have finished painting at one end , its time to go back to the first point and start all over again !!

I think the wife mentioned something about our bedroom next year - joy !

If your using Gloss better going for Crown trade or Dulux Satinwood, trade stuff is way better stays whiter for longer
