Excuses required.

Handles for gloss white doors in the bathroom vanity unit are drilled and screwed from the back. This does NOT require drilling all the way through the door, although I did on 2 of the 6 holes. I'm tired.

Father fk-up will see you now.

Refreshed the hallway with new rad and plumbing, skirting, architraves, floor and coir mat. Pulled out the old top rail and ply board to replace with proper balustrades.

Very pleased with the look.




Oh cock.



The newel post is now permanently adorned with a coat to hide it because where I sit on the sofa on the lounge, that is all I can see! I'll have to pull it all out and do it again as soon as I finished cocking up the bathroom.

Wife said my way would look st. Damn you for supporting her view*
