One of the biggest things we're ignoring is the cupboard under the stairs. With this lovely peeling checked vinyl wallpaper. The fact that the fridge is there makes doing things difficult. Also we're worried that if we start taking off the sagging wallpaper, half the plaster may come away too.
To legitimate our worry, here is a close up to show that a previous owner decided that tin foil was a suitable plastering/polyfilla material.....
...so much so that they used it around the kitchen cupboards too...
...and around this pipe in the outhouse
We realised the other day that we haven't actually done much in the bathroom, apart from make my Mum clean it and put some nice plants and pictures in there. (Having just checked though we did put on a new door knob and make some curtains AND spend hundreds on our boiler!!!)
And this broken extractor pipe has always annoyed me too. Broken, why? Because someone cut it to feed an electricity cable through.
Jon won't be happy, but for all his and his Dad's painting, they've never done the final coat on the hallway.
And this large unfinished polyfilla lump has been in the sitting room since we took out the carriage lights in September!
The woodwork needs painting around the door. Maybe we should paint the door too, what do you think?
Again, Jon and Stephen need to finish the painting of the stairs.
Also, we have 2 fire hearths upstairs in the bedroom and music room that we covered in black bin bags and rugs as soon as we moved in because we thought they might be made of asbestos. We should think about what to do with those. (14 Agnes Road was where we used to live by the way)
This is the hatch to the loft. It is very dirty. We should do something about that.
Bits of the floor in the kitchen are coming up. But I know that Maudie's boyfriend Luke laid some the same in their house so maybe we could get him to do ours too.
There's also the small issue of the strange half blocked fireplace but more on that soon!
