    Blimey, you can do the whole house in 4 weeks, it took me almost 2 weeks to just do our box room and am expecting our bedroom (which I'm doing next) to take longer than that!

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      all the walls are in good nick,so no papering,used 28ltrs of emulsions and 3ltrs of door/skirting board paint,you should have seen us,both have trouble with walking/balance,so sometimes we were both stuck on our knees,trying to get up.tomorrow i will be sowing my peppers first,to go into the new hothouse/old chook house so now starts the growing year,hopefully the bad weather forecast will miss us again....fingers crossed..

            You must have an expert nagger behind you! Was the motivation the fact that you can now concentrate on the gardening?

                Garden comes first I'm afraid! The house can wait. As long as it's dry and draught free, that's good enough. Well done on sorting the whole thing inside a month, it took us about three months to do our last place top to bottom, and I lost the will to live by the end of it. I really dislike painting. Still, it's done now, so get on and enjoy your planting up

                  one thing that made it harder was that the ceilings are 11ft up as the cottage was built in 1886,after a complete destructive fire in 2008,we have all new walls,so no need to use paper to cover messy walls or the like,so with 2 long handled rollers we just kept going,weather was rubbish so now was the time to do it.today we have our first really sunny day,so the lid is off the propagator to encourage the seeds to catch up,peppers have yet to show but they have only been in days...
