bungalow update

[Sweety]

Looks very nice & from the pic it looks as if your good at cutting in with the paint too
Our council is a nightmare to get anything done Had a new heating system fitted at the beginning of the year & what a mess the plasterer made my kitchen wall looked like the Rockies ripped it all off & did it myself & managed to get the wall nice & straight (only plastered twice before so not great at it) Have also took the time fixing 30+ years of council bodge jobs throughout the house

Best of luck Pete, you'll be sorted out and settled by Christmas with the family.

well , we have sorta moved into the bungalow , the removal man didn't turn up , so my nephew chris ( tiny ) suggested we take apart the metal 4 poster bed and put it in my car ( citroen berlingo multispace ) .. at first I thought he had been smoking some strange tobacco , but just to humour him I gave him the tape measure and tools to dismantle the bed ...... after a few minutes he shouted " IT WILL FIT IN UNCLE PETE " ..... amazingly the whole bed ( including mattress ) fitted into the car !!..... a king sized 4 poster !!!! , so now its assembled up at the bungalow we have somewhere to sleep , unfortunately the wardrobe wouldn't fit in the car .

Hi Briggy,

Looks real neat - like the colour choice !

You'r not alone in falling off ladders my usual trick when working outside with my step ladders is getting so good and confident over a few days that I step off thinking I am on the ground.

Its not good when you have a tin of paint in your hand at the time !

There are still some splash marks on the floor where I landed with a jolt a couple of years back.

thanks mate , was a labour of love .... the colour choice was chosen by her who must be obeyed at all times without question

Its carried in the Genome sequence on the female branch of the microcondial DNA - colour sense they call it.

She who must be obeyed says I dress like a traffic light but at least I have a predictable sequence !
