Quick word about comments ...
Comments here are 'moderated'. In as much that I have to physically see them and wave them through once you hit Send.
So, if ye write a Comment. Post it. Don't see it? No worries. It's just sitting there, waiting for me to come online and find it in my email. I click and your words appear here.
Please don't post it several times. Get frustrated and storm off, never to be seen again. It's just a measure I was forced to put into place by doxxers, spammers and other, mentally unstable's.

Feeling A Bit Chuffed With My Panelling .....
I've had a bit of a moody on it, during the last week. Well; Basically, I bought a couple of new packs of panels! That helped a lot!
One side of my 'hallway' is now completely panelled. I just have to finish cutting and screwing on the architrave at this end. I'm already working on the preparations on the other side of the hall too.
It's having that one, straight run wall fully panelled though. It does look absolutely fucking amazing! Even with it half done, I never guessed it would look this good, when it's 'finished'.
I'd love to show ye photo's. But it's not finished, yet. Have to put the skirting board on the bottom and get a bit of concave, quadrant trim for the top. And just finish cutting a bit more architrave and screwing that on. No screws, see?
Anyway, screws are in my book now. Another pack of panels and a strip of wood I need to use for studs for the panels. Pick them up, in town.
Then spend another few afternoon sessions, figuring out how to get round the constant stream of niggling little problems the kack handed, pissed clean out of plumb building of this place throws at me, every turn I take!
Great fun though! I'm a bloody rat catcher. Not a carpenter or builder. Fuckin' trier though. I take my time and think about every pin and screw. Figure out what might go wrong, in advance.
Tell ye; I wouldn't thank ye for a team of builders and decorators turning up at my gate, for free, tomorrow. I had the professionals put the doors and windows back in this place. Now, it's up to me to do the rest.
The feeling of achievement and satisfaction all this is giving me? Fucking Priceless!

ReplyDeleteStay well, bro'.
Some shots on the 'Madness' post, somewhere below, Llew. They should give an idea of what I'm about here.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile; I bought home another batch of materials, yesterday. Now I'm hoping to good as finish the work. Trying to do that this afternoon.
Already now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the Dogs when I come to stripping the old wood work, then repainting the lot. It's gonna be a drama.
First, keeping them all locked up while I lather Nitromoors everywhere. Then, stopping them from going anywhere near the painted surfaces till everything's dry enough that hairs won't stick.
I haven't quite worked that bit out yet. And I'm still not looking forward to it.
