Achievements. Lots, actually. I took down the last of my pictures yesterday, and then did a buzz around B&Q this morning to pick up paint, rollers and filler. Things have moved on since last time I did any painting. They now have panther print, or zebra stripes on the rollers if you want. I was very tempted, until I found a whole rollers-tray-brushes combo. I’m easily bought.
So, I sealed the side of the bath, which I should have done years ago, and although it’s not neat it does at least look like it would keep the water out. The secret, apparently, is to half-fill it with water so it’s already stretched by the weight, then when you let it drain, after the sealant has dried, it all squashes back into place.
Let’s see if it’s all still there tomorrow.
I picked yellow paint for the walls. A bit darker than the yellow that’s on them already so I can see the bits I’ve done, but still fairly similar so if I miss a little stripe here or there it shouldn’t show.
It feels like a bit of a cheat, but I got a roller on a pole taller than myself. A bargain at
