Wood and paint

16 and 17 October 2018

While waiting for us in the bedroom to clear the floor coverings and give him measurements for skirting, Dave moved onto the window trims in the bathroom.  Meanwhile, Paris and I are storming through all the filling, sanding and painting of the woodwork in the bedroom, and getting the last pieces from Dave as soon as the areas become accessible.  We're working fast to try to get done by Weds, as Paris doesn't have any more spare time for a while, and I just want to get Dave and I back into our comfy bed and off the z-beds.

 Bathroom window trims done

 In the bedroom, feature blue paint goes on the outside of the door and the inner panels of the cupboard doors - which still look a little bare ... they need something more?

 Blue panels on the north wall, and new skirting fitted below.  Now to mask the floor and shuffle round with the paint brush - twice!

 The workforce (inside and out): Dave, Jade, Paris, Rowan, Dmitri, Panos (and me, behind the camera).  Lots of mouths to feed - Dave rustled up a fabulous lunch for everyone.

 Wednesday evening - all done, even the two missing ceiling boards and insulation inside the cupboard (remembered, with a sinking feeling, at the last minute!)

 Early Wednesday morning, after doing a little research the evening before, I was very brave and freehand-painted these two little lotus flowers on the cupboard doors.  Gives them a focal point.  They're a bit scruffy, but I like them.

And the bed reinstated and made up ready for sleep.  Hurrah!
