Thank you. I wanted to make something that was more of a feature, hence the larger panel size and speaker cloth. Spindly/thin conduit can look like a bit of an afterthought and doesn't look particularly pleasing imho.

That cover is a great idea. Might have to do something similar. Thanks

Thank you and glad it was useful!

Door looks great too!

Door looks great too!

Thanks. It took a while to get it epoxy'd, filled in and sanded back. The colour is Farrow and Ball ' Down Pipe' in eggshell. Can't say I'm a particular fan of this paint as it has taken much longer to dry than expected.

I still need a new doormat and porch light.

And window to go in it - also rotten to hell on the bottom, first time glazing, used acrylic putty, a lot more expsenive but paintable after 4 hours to worth it for me.

Good job. I'm currently in the process of doing something similar but they're not as bad as yours. It's a lot of work.

I painted our front door in F&B external eggshell and the 2 part filler has shown through. Not impressed. Generally not impressed at all with F&B estate emulsion inside our house too, in the few rooms we have it. Never using it again.

Got an indoor pool now though. Silver linings.

Username is apt

Old shed is coming down this weekend with a new one going up next week.

Hopefully going to make use of parts of the old shed that are still okay and with help of the father in law make it into extra storage.

Who the hell ever decided wood chip wallpaper was a good idea. This stuff is vile to remove!

My current tactic is to score as much as i can, then sponge with wallpaper remover, but it's still horrific to remove.

Steamer !

I tend to get any Farrow and Ball colours mixed in Johnstones. The quality is much better and cost is much lower.

Yesterday completely required 1st floor lighting. Today completely rewired the 2nd floor lighting and tested all circuits.

Loving the wago connectors. Now ready for switchover to new cu.

Steamer !

A steamer was used, today we even bought a second one. The room is still only partly done, admitadly i wasn't involved today as i got to rip out the bathroom suite and tiles ready for Monday.

Now just need to finish off removing the adhesive. Any tips? I've never used any of the adhesive remover products, was just planning on using the scraper on my multitool.

Nice transformation, just need a log shed to tidy them bits up more.
