    Ah Ok.
    I thought you might have been fixing something like paneling to it.

    Replaced the rubber seal on the waste pipe and also on the cistern outlet on the toilet yesterday.

    Was a "$hity" job so to speak

    I looked at my Dads granny flat conversion.
    Still forgot to take some photos, but the project is on hold for a little while anyway.
    Hard work visiting Jervis Bay on a clear sunny weekend ;)

    Wow, pretty amazing projects underway by many!
    I've just got round to relocating our bed to the spare room so that I can tackle the red feature wall and 3 beige walls.. it's going all grey. I am contemplating repainting the skirting boards too but I think it will be one of those things of "where does it end" ... pictures to come.. this will be a project that spans a few weekends..

    We've got a bedroom to paint grey too - currently green with sponged hideousness. :eek:

    Our entire house is beige which I can sort of live with as it has hardwood skirting board and cupboards and the kitchen is really retro.. but the red wall is where I draw the line ;) I know grey and wooden skirting boards aren't the best combo .. but if I paint one.. I have to paint the whole house. I'm not sure I have enough weekends for that.. !

    there is a small room that is pastel pink with glow in the dark stickers ALL OVER.. :rolleyes: that'll be a summer project I think

    Finished the room.. a little bit of touch up to do but it's pretty much done. I'm contemplating sanding back the window sill and varnishing it as it has been sun bleached.

    (Excuse the 5 different sample paints on the wall in the background, in the end didn't go with any of them).
