I'm not Chrissssssssssssssssss but Chris Higglypigglypoo type of thingy. The scent today is probably a mixture of plaster, sawdust and white spirit. Mmm.
Takes an age doesn't it? I like DIY, but I don't like laborious jobs like painting edging and sanding 'specially but hand. I enjoy using power tools though and had a lot of fun cutting, fitting and planing all the doors at our old place.
Tedious, mind numbing and crap are three things that come to mind. The painting is a bit better than the preparation especially with totally shitty walls like this house has. Taken an age to get them smooth enough to paint.
I think I'm /finally/ ready to paint the room! Been 4 evenings of sanding and filling and more sanding and more filling. At least the first two nights were slightly helped by the consumption of wine. Now I have none apart from a small amount at the bottom of a bottle which is probably full of dust now :(
