Sounds like a 5 minute job.

Currently been renovating the house for 9 months now, and I'm doing ALL the decorating, on my own.

To say I'm bored of it would be an understatement.

Next house : 1 bed bungalow. :glare:

I can't argue with that. :nono:

Newly married and moving into our first marital home, l promised the wife that l would completely redecorate the lounge. I bought all the materials, wallpaper, paint, brushes, pasting table etc. etc. then set to work. After a couple of hours l had made such a gash of it, that l decided to give up on the papering completely, and finish off by simply painting around the furniture. Job done!

Never again, now that l can afford to do so, l get the professionals to do it for me.

I'm doing the same. Stripping wallpaper, properly grim

Last week, for the first time in my life, I paid someone else. Yes I lost money, but boy am I glad I did. Decorating and home improvements are almost the only things Mrs GCCM and I have ever argued about in 26 glorious years of marriage.

Bought a cheapish paint sprayer to paint a house I'm refurbing atm. Fecking brilliant. Never used one before. 4 walls and a ceiling with a roller is about a half days work per coat, 3 coats needed on newly skimmed walls and ceiling. Took me an hour max with the sprayer. Great bit of kit as no cutting in needed (all walls and ceiling white).

Would be a right pain with furniture to mask everything or different colours, but as it's empty, can spray away and not be bothered about over spray. Can do gloss /satinwood too, will try that next week on the skirting and doors.

Doesn't it go everywhere?
