Secret DIY

…The spiral stairs are coming along nicely. I’ve sanded them and filled the holes with a metal putty which absolutely stinks but it dries solid and is ready to sand in an hour. There are five holes in each of the thirteen steps so it certainly is turning into a labour of love. I’m painting them with a white primer and the final coats will also be white. The walls are currently being covered with dry walling plasterboard to cover up the open joists at the top, it’s looking so much better already. More pics soon…

…Hmmmm I’m undecided about what I’ve done to the hallway!??? I’ve carried the grey paint around the corner from the lounge and I’m not sure if it’s going to be too dark or if I like it. If I decide to stay with it then I will also paint the doors, skirting, door frames, radiator, shelf and the side of the stairs where the metalwork is attached in the same grey.
