I did this.

And the large swathes of wall you can't see. There's something about repetitive tasks that induces an almost meditative state. Not that that makes it any more fun, or I'd be finishing it off rather than writing posts on my phone..

It looks like Erin and I are coming round to help you paint tomorrow.

Huzzah!

YES, Yes, do it BEFORE you move in. Wish i had. REALLY wish.

I HATE DIY! I never get the meditative state, I have always suffered from chronic inability to colour between the lines (in any and all senses or applications).

Repetitive actions drive me crazy. I can hold it together for about 20 mins then it all goes to sh*t. I often joke about my "Anti-OCD". Many years of archery (the whole *point* of which is to do exactly the same thing over and over and over) did not in any way help me.

Which is to say, I envy you immensely. Any hints???

*sigh* I am going home very shortly to touch up my yesterdays wall/ceiling job in the bedroom and paint all the woodwork.

ER why are there red bits round the white bits? is that deliberate?is it art?:-)(or is it red replacing white???)

I feel worried now..

That looks like the same crappy gas heater I have in my front room!

Being as I'm qualified to comment on DIY-stuff:

DIY should never be undertaken without provision of vast quantities of tea and choccie biccies... Several customers returned to tell me the soundness of this advice :)
