It's been a while - you probably don't even remember this post...
It all started with good intentions and then one thing led to another and,well, I never did get around to completing the plastering.
Then Lawrie the plasterer ("small jobs specialist") entered my life last Wednesday, on Thursday he'd fixed the cornice and tidied up the plastering, ready to paint.
The prepping and undercoat/sealer went on yesterday. Today is painting day!!!
