Looking good Mark, loving seeing before & after.

IF we get to move next year, we will do the same, I have to show Don every time there's an update

Finals have been done to bedroom 2, this is now finished, and we'll be moving D into this room tomorrow, releasing the next room, Bedroom 1, for the same treatment!

Finals consisted of wallpapering, touching up Gloss paint, filling, fitting a shelf for the Sky box, curtains, nets & carpets. You can just about see the new light fitting.











I tried a panoramic shot, but the room is too small to get any scope really.


.

Now have I got this right, when the meter man comes to read the lecy meter he has to go into your daughters bedroom?
I can see Aunty Mick buying a pair of glasses and a clip board knocking on the door

Well it's the gas meter Dad's, but same scenario

Well as far as Aunty Mick is concerned with the amount of hot air he espouses its the right meter

I was laughing out loud at your first quip Dads, but now you have added this one, do you see me laughing, I think not.

Wow, what a difference, so bright & spacious now.

Blimey your going well Mark, it would be great to finish one of son's rooms :-bd: son has similar choice with the lights as your daughter.

Looks quite homely in there now

You have done a great job there Mark. :-bd: Your Daughter will be well chuffed with her room now, what a difference.

Fab !

LOVE the wallpaper............................

Ha ha ha ha, but not a fridge in the room for the SB wine yet though mate.

Plenty of shelves in the wardrobe for it though !

Just give me an ice bucket...........................

So, we move D out into bedroom 2, vacating bedroom 1 to start work on.





The bedroom door was done as part of the hallway part renovation.



First thing is to get the rubbish wardrobes down, and strip the wallpaper back to bare walls. Didn't take Jan too long



Then chop out walls and wire in new sockets, also move the central light to a better position, and wire in for some downlights that will be in front of the wardrobes. There's also a TV wire put in.





Not sure whether it's worth putting in pictures of the next stage, plastering, it's the same as the previous rooom's progress for now.

.

I have never seen a patterned paper on the ceiling before, that was a extra to get off

Well progress now is a simple 'conveyor belt' of trades, up to completion.
First, a stud wall 'nib' was formed, this will be the end panel of the new wardrobes, as well as housing the sockets for the TV.



Then, on with the plastering. Jan is getting quite good at it now



Plastering finished.



Coats of paint applied to the walls, especially the inside of the wardrobes before the fittings are assembled.



Contiboard is purchased from B & Q and screwed together to form the inside hanging space and cubby holes.



Sliding doors fitted onto track, coving fitted, radiator on, final painting, carpet down, and Voilá! room 2 is just about finished!







Curtains to fit next, and then move in. All at leisure, over Christmas period.

Blimey, wished I had the guts to have tried the plastering stuff, if I had tried, it would have dried in craters

We have put a water/paint mix on son's chimneys yesterday/today and it seems to reject the paint in a few areas causing us to rub it down and redo, bloody annoying. Son did first chimney and i tackled the second with similar results despite me using a more watery version and a brush

Looking very good mate, well done the both of you. :-bd:

Did you seal it with PVA first del?

We didn't Mark, we were just told to use watered down paint. The guy PVA'ed the plaster to the wall

Difficult for me to say without seeing it, as PVA is used in some instances, and watery paint is used in others. But sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, there is a chemical reaction between the lime in the render and the gypsum in the plaster and the two just reject each other.

What a difference, Mark. It's all looking great. Good luck with the rest of the rooms.

:-bd:

His house is having a gypsum reaction I'll give the chimney a good rodding when I get down there

At least your house is going well :tup:

Looking great Mark, love the colour scheme. :-bd:

What a transformation Mark! :-bd:
And a wife who can plaster and paint.Some guys have all the luck.
Just remind me is this your chosen abode for a few years or a do-up and flog project?
