A week off this week so...
Monday, our bedroom ceiling painted, 2 coats of duck egg on three walls and woodwork glossed.
Wickets trade Matt white...very good.
BQ Colours duck egg...utter rubbish.
Looked at some Valspar paint, remembered that was rubbish last time I used it.
Went to Wickes and got a can of theirs, much better.
Weds...
Cieling in living room (18ft x11 ft) done.
Woodwork glossed.
Walls are all ok.
Thursday..
Didn't really intend doing any but looked out at a long since broken post on a 4ft trellis type fence to keep the dog off the lawn....enough, picked up a used short post I knew was at my mum's, down to Wickes for some concrete, stripped off the trellis panels, cleaned and repainted them, fit new post and re-erect. Just a nice few hours work, no rush, sun was out.
Today, well this evening, trying to resurrect an abandoned Henry Hoover. Stripped back, motor resistance should be IRO 50 ohms, I'm getting 5 but I may be reading the wrong scale. Don't often do electrics so may take the motor to work for a leccy to check. Further investigation found the mains switch looking like it's fubar'd. Annoying, I used to have one that looked the same but I think I threw it away. Got a spare at work so I'll swap stuff out next week and have another go.
On top of that, mum's hinting she wants one wall painting...which I will gladly do when I get time and now I find out I'm being volounteered to do out my granddaughters first bedroom...which I will also gladly do....
