Here’s my problem. I need to paint my shutters before the winter otherwise the new, bare wood will be fully exposed to the elements. To do the job I need good weather and it looks like the current amazingly hot, sunny spell will come to an end by the week-end when the weather will revert to a more seasonal cool, damp pattern.<\/p>\n

I also still have quite a bit of work to do inside the house. In particular I need to get at least one bedroom finished with the wardrobe and storage installed that I have planned for it. Until I’ve done that I have no hope of reorganising the living room so I can get my dining table and chairs into it and also of clearing other stuff out of the storage that I’m renting.<\/p>\n

As well as the financial aspect, the space is not of very high quality and is also prone to dampness so I definitely don’t want to leave my possessions in it for another winter. That means there’s an urgency to getting at least one bedroom done, but I can’t do both the shutters and the bedroom at the same time.<\/p>\n

For the past few days I’ve been working on bedroom 1 so even if I can’t get it totally finished, I can get it to a stage whereby it can be used, its storage is installed and I can put my bed in there thus vacating the living room. For that to happen I need to have the room’s walls and ceiling undercoated, as much of its coving up as possible given that I have to allow for installation of the storage unit and the floor laid, minus the plinth, and that’s what I’ve been doing.<\/p>\n

Here are some shots taken this evening showing the progress I’ve made. I put up coving and laid the floor underlay today so should be able to finish laying the floor tomorrow. Then it will be ready for the Ikea wardrobe and storage unit to be installed.<\/p>\n

Ultimately I’ve decided that much as I’d like to paint the shutters, the bedroom has to be made useable first. We still get some lovely warm, dry weather in October and even beyond and with a bit of luck I’ll be able to get the shutters done before winter sets in. However, in the final event, I’ll just have to press on and take my chance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
