Cheers booted, good call! As for getting a man in, finances don't stretch, saving for a snow boarding trip in Feb, every penny counts!!!

Yes, I also hate every aspect of decorating and am happy to admit I'm shit at it - however, many years ago I persuaded Mrs O that she was far better at the decorating mularky than I was...
She has done all the painting & decorating since! My finest achievement was to show her how to tile - we now have a completely tiled bathroom (floor to ceiling) and  Equality! |

 I think Orangina has been away for a bit and might have missed the addition to the swear filter to combat the spammers trying to flog their k.i.t.c.h.e.n.s.

I don't mind the decorating, its all the shifting and clearing the room.
An empty room no problem. My wife and kids get to empty and re fill the room.

^^^^ why would you emulsion walls before glossing doors skirting etc, when gloss is a pain to try and get off fresh emulsion but emulsion is piss easy to wipe off gloss if you get any on it.

Because it's easier to 'cut in' with a 1" brush with gloss on skirtings/frames than it is to try and do the same with a 4" emulsion brush. As for wiping the gloss off freshly applied emulsion you wait until it's dry! You do as you like chap, I however am a time served City & Gulids apprentice who unfortunately chose decorating as a living. |
