Stripping in the porn room

My PC is currently on the floor in a weird little space that separates the fairy princess room from the landing. This makes blogging hard & cruising for porn uncomfortable. So I decided, the box room needs sorting. First I need more space, so rip out the fitted wardrobe. This reveals that the carpet was fitted around the wardrobe. So rip up the carpet in the hope of finding nice floorboards underneath. And its chipboard. Price up a laminate floor and sob gently. Then spend several nights removing the blue and red vinyl wallpaper. To reveal the yellow and green vinyl underneath. Ahh, more nights stripping of the wrong sort. Still I'm down to the plaster at last, and its reasonably sound. A bit of filler, a slap of emulsion & the PC can move in. And the colours? Magnolia walls. White ceiling. And by the time I am finished (in about 20 years) every room will be the same. Magnolia walls. White ceiling. Anything else is just wrong.

Ah the joy of a new old home.
Laminate is good, especially for cleaning up any "spills"

M. Spills? no. one of the plusses of using a machine.

J. I decided (against my better judgement) that I must get the house sort of livable first. So the garden one large nettle patch.

D. Ta. Bless you to.

S. Magnolia. The attractive off white used to paint walls in all goverment establishments (Prisons, terminal wards, dole offices,etc) And the only emulsion other than white to come in cheap bulk containers.
