Renovation Project - I am scraping crap again!!!!!!!
The plastering is done, most of the wood is stripped for the
kitchen doors, so now its let’s sit down and think what is the most horrible
job I can do next, Ah yes that’s it, pull all the old lino off the stairs and
start to scrape a hundred years of muck off them!!!!!
I complained about the kitchen floor, because that was so
time consuming and gross, I wasn’t very struck on stripping the wood for the
kitchen doors, stripping the front door made me ill with the fumes, but
compared to the stairs they were a piece of cake!
I cannot believe how unglamorous my life actually is, I seem
to spend all of my time in crap, oh to have a carpet............
But now I console myself with the fact that the stairs will
look fantastic (if you remember I did this on the kitchen floor right up until
we decided to tile over it!)
John puts the doors together, we will treat and stain them
once we had them hanging for a while, but joy of joys and because this is us,
nothing is that simple, would you believe we have forgotten the hinges, little
metal things that mean nothing can go up!
I don’t know which is worse having no kitchen cupboard doors
or doors that cannot be fitted.
So tomorrow it’s a trip to the shops, at least I can get away
from the crap for a short while!
I think the wood on the stairs will look lovely when it is cleaned up. Keep up the good work!
