started sanding back the walls so i can get them dead flat, i know its a little OTT but i want things to be spot on.. 

 

 

 

 

filled a couple holes in the floor with some self leveling compound. 

 

 

some colours

 

 

 

 

 

decided to skim the old wallpapered wall, it would of taken just too long to fill and sand everything.. 

 

 

 

decided on the colour which is like a light brown, so sanded all the old paint back so it was smooth. also got the under pelmet LED's in place and wired up.

 

 

 

 

thats it up to press.. door handles need to go on.

That's fast progress. How long do you reckon you've got left until you're finished? Are you Nick Knowles?

It should of been done by now really, we have been a bit slack in getting things sorted. Hopefully most of it is done today.. Plastering the last bits door handles the units, pantry to shelve out and door to hang then just a tidy up. Tomorrow should see the start of the painting, wash coat on the new plaster and sanding back first followed by another clean up and then doors glossed, ceiling painted and walls etc. I recon by next weekend it will be finished bar the floor.

Good stuff.

 

Once finished you won't know what to do with yourself with all the spare time you'll have free. Either that or you'll collapse and sleep for a week.

The question is 'how many car related things are still in the house?'  My pantry still houses my MIG and some plane parts and I moved in 7 years ago!

[chris_uk]

[chris_uk]

Door glossed and out back together







Hung the door on the pantry





Then took them off to gloss



Finished sanding out some marks





Added lights into the display units, glass shelves are to go in.



Added an in fill piece around the door ready for the architrave.



Nearly done now, just lots of little things to sprt and undercoat / glossing to do.

Black Nickel sockets and light switch would finish off that kitchen... Just an idea.
