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

Stringers are looking good Baz you using paint stripper (nitromors)

Cheers nah just using a heat gun and a scraper. Tried nitromors on the door frames and wasn't working too well. I'll use it for the smaller bits that I can't get to.

Braw looking good.

Just finished 11 months o hard graft hose was bad. One of my pals said the bathroom looked like a 70s caravan. Get an idea how bad it was.

I've noticed that the paints trippers have got wussier and also if you are attacking a waterbased paint, the stripper struggles to penetrate so you get the top layer off and then have to go at it again and again
heat gun ftw... Or new

Just tiled it today but it was a strip back to brick, new floor, new plasterboard on ceiling, walls framed/ straightened and sheeted

I removed the bricks etc that were in the fireplace for a stove to go in. I done the destruction but got someone in to do the fitting. Should be complete by Thurs.

Made a start with this today, just the demolition part of it. Haven't actually bought the one we want yet.

Blocks the light out? Mines all walled in like that, stops all the light.


I layed new underlay and refitted the carpet in the hallway. Can't remember when it was last down, but its so nice now, quite, warmer and soft underfoot.

Yeah stairs were quite dark even though there's a huge window at the top of them. This should make a huge difference hopefully.

I Can't wait to get carpets down etc. Still a long way from that though unfortunately.
