On the home front
The landlord's cowboy builders have all but finished the dining room. Double glazed window replacing the old sash window. New laminated floor. Three new pine doors; one between the hallway and dining room; one between the dining room and under the stairs cupboard; and the last between dining room and kitchen. I am not sure whether to leave the pine doors unpainted, stain and varnish them or white gloss them. The radiator wasn't done properly, that is, stripped down to the bear metal before repainting. The ceiling needs a touch up here and there, as do the walls in places. When I have finished the job they started, I need to remove the bits of paint on the new floor before cleaning it properly and moving in there to allow them to do the front room. After this it will be the new kitchen, and possibly the old bathroom and toilet being knocked down and a utility room built instead. I am hoping to extend the kitchen. The idea is to get the whole house double glazed in time for Winter. The hallway, stairs and landing have no heating and the walls need replastering. There is also the master bedroom and study/bedroom to do.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
