Nothing went wrong and we made lots of progress. Those kind of days don't come along every day you know! Richard is spreading his misery and germs elsewhere at the moment so a strange, eerie sense of joy and wellbeing swept though the house. Its as if this whole project has suddenly gone bipolar....
We started off with this box of multi-coloured spaghetti. Ratty turned up early before Arne had gone to school, and he just had time to give Ratty a hand and tell him what to do.
By the end of the day, it looked like this. All the new sockets and many of the lights are now live.
Meanwhile, I painted the ceiling in Arne's room, the leftover paint being enough to also paint half a wall.
After lunch, I set about some plastering. I fixed up this small hole in Arne's wall...
...but I was really chuffed with how this turned out. Lots of trial and error, but I got it looking smooth and flat with a nice sharp edge. I'll not be attempting any ceilings just yet though....
