the "Dread Room"
has gradually been transformed
the lower section of the wall
had been painted in a very old
oil and earth mix
which proved problematic when painted
as it kept bleeding through
we scrubbed it with a solution of this
then carefully rolled a thin coat
of oil based matt paint
and prayed
it worked!
then the task of scraping off years of paint
from conduit and sockets
and finding a match for the skirtings and doors
it pains me to tosh over these beauties
on top of all the really bad paint already on them
but time and budget won't allow for now
all I need now is furniture
and a lovely light fitting to replace this pathetic bulb!
like that
scene in Bruce Almighty
when he meets God
"we spin, we turn, watch and wait
as the world just creeps on by"
