New Doors and Windows!
On Monday and Tuesday I had a new front and back door fitted, along with a kitchen window.
I cannot tell you the difference it has made having doors that fit!!!
Here are the obligatory before and after photos!

Bathroom Painting.
Midday and I have painted the whole bathroom. It seemed silly just to cut it.
One more coat at one thirty.
Then just glossing and it will be totally finished.
Only then will I start on the kitchen.

Phase 1 - Test Tile Removal.
Well, this was an eye opener.
I got myself all charged up and ready, equipment at the ready, safety goggles on.
I tapped using the wall paper scraper and hammer and wiggled it. Next thing almost half of the tiles come forward in one huge sheet.
Great, this is not only easy but also a lot quicker than I had hoped. Then I realised that they had pulled all the plaster off the wall.
I am glad that I know now to factor in re plastering as I want my tiles straight and to stay up.
Here are the photos of this exciting mission.
The breakfast bar area.
The sink area

The Kitchen. Before the chaos starts....
Well, this is the kitchen before I test my DIY skills and embark on a makeover, that I also hope remains on budget to complete by the end of the year.
I am having double glazed window and back door fitted on the 19th March. The window section will be drastically different.
Then its a list....
Put up new tiles
New worktops
Paint cupboards and related areas
Undercoat all walls
Paint ceiling
Repaint green walls
Paint remaining 2 walls
New flooring
Sand down doorways and skirting
Rub down bi-folding door
Undercoat doorways, skirting, bi0folding door
Gloss doorways, skirting, bi0folding door.
This is the plan and this blog will plot my progress.
