Today I've modified the rear of some skirtings with a router to make space for cables, refitted them, tested those cables and given it coat of gloss. Tomorrow I need to do a better job of hiding the skirting screws using caulk. Should be the living room finished then hopefully, sofa is coming monday, TV came on Thursday and will be mounted on the wall when I'm feeling brave.
Ive built my new bespoke bookcase's and lightbox in the dining room.

Today I filled in and sanded all the dents and holes in the walls that the previous owners left.
Got the first two coats of magnolia on the darkest purple paint I've ever come across in the downstairs bathroom. Going to take at least another coat!

Dumped the window cleaner and cleaned them myself. Pretty sure I've done a better job of it too
My pet hate with window cleaners is they only clean the glass and not the frames. More so if it's one of those weekly/fortnightly window cleaner rounds.
For proper results book a proper one off Yell.com to do a one-off job when required.
