Painting

My mum came across yesterday morning, and we've spent two days painting walls upstairs. It's been a bit of a mammoth effort, with a couple of long, continuous days, but we've managed to paint both guest bedrooms, the guest bathroom (all but, anyway), the landing, and make a start on the master en suite. It was all bare plaster, most of which I've applied in the last couple of months, so it needed a watered down white emulsion, a full-strength white emulsion, and a top-coat of the off-white we painted downstairs in, 'Timeless'. We had a brief break on Friday to go and look at a house that's on the market (very unlikely to become the new Yorkshire Cottage), and a rather tasty curry takeaway last night. Today didn't start too promisingly, with a five-hour stint getting the first coat on the walls of the front guest room and the landing. Some of the plaster in the guestroom, mainly on the un-changed wall and around the fireplace, was a real pain to cover properly, and the landing is rather large, in perimeter terms. In the end, we got there, though, and it looks really good. Everything's still in disarray, partly so I can put skirting boards on without having to move anything, and in the morning I'll drive mum home, and stay until some time on Monday.
