You know you're in trouble when

[bearded bloke]

you decide to rationalise the light switches, you start cutting the chases & this happens








That's not so bad you think to yourself, have a cuppa & then start chasing out fot the landing two-way switch & ........

When did you say that Mrs BB will be home?

[veggiechicken]

You need a decent decorator - sharpish
I'd "sue" the one you have now - cowboys

[Lumpy]

Bare bricks are very 'in mode' at the moment BB - whoo hoo you are a..........

so you are off to hide then?

[Bren In Pots]

Just call it the rustic look

When did you say that Mrs BB will be home?

She arrives here on Monday next Hope your bringing a paint brush with you on Saturday Hazel

[bearded bloke]

I never thought to take a pic' of the lead gas pipe that was behind the lime mortar (it would have fed a wall light when the bungalow was built)

I knew that there was a reason (besides the small matter of a race) that I was meeting you at Harper Adams on Sun and not meeting at your place on Sat for the Shrewsbury Gardener's do!

*phew!

[Thelma Sanders]

You have my sympathy!

*Shakes head in a been there done that kinda way*

I was quite surprised to find out just how much plastering hurts - either your wrists or your wallet - depending on which method you choose

[Jay22]

Is this your actual house BB?! I thought it was a joke...it won't be when Mrs. BB gets home!!

[bearded bloke]

I was taught "patch plastering" as part of my apprenticeship but this is stretching "patch" a bit beyond my skill set Thelma However I may have a plan

Yes Jay, it really is my home TBH Mrs. BB won't be overly surprised, sadly every room that I redecorated here todate has needed some degree of plastering repair

Bit more like this I think Lumpy ......

[Potstubsdustbins]

Looks like over board and skim then. Some blokes and their big hammers.

By the way how much of that 'lead' pipe is there. very high tin content should be worth a few bob...

[bearded bloke]

Only about 2 1/2 feet Potty, doubtless there will be more under the floor upstairs but that room is finished so the pipe can stay there bud, got a few sheets & some dabbing, then just need "clever Trevor" to tape & skim over
