Making Headway

The Gorse Fox woke up with a mission. The mission was to get the long wall of the kitchen/family room painted. He knew it would take much of the day so started removing the blinds and various obstacles to painting as soon as he had finished his first coffee of the day. A trip to the DIY store was required to top up on masking tape and to buy the cable trunking, but that didn’t take long.

As usual it was the prep that took the time. Getting the windows, doors, ceiling, and skirtings masked off took the rest of the morning. After lunch, however, it was easy to start wielding the brush and roller. It was late afternoon before we were finished. The Silver Vixen had client the day circling behind the Gorse Fox and moving things around and cleaning them. The last big job before moving the furniture back was to get the cable trunking installed. This went remarkably smoothly and the Gorse Fox was able to rethink the cable runs, freeing up a convenient socket for more convenient use. All the furniture is back in place, the Gorse Fox just needs to reinstall the TV at some point.

The decorating will continue tomorrow, but shouldn’t be as fiddly.

On other matters we heard from Skoda that the Silver Vixen’s car is now in the UK and we should should get a firm date for delivery later in the week.
