(This post isn't finished as yet) 



My Sister's house, we have a 13 month old boy in the family now so it's great when I get to see him in the day.

Front door and garage doors. They were not done very well before.



Suggested a 'French Grey' green gloss.  (This is just the undercoat - obviously)
It came out well, only it kept raining just as I was finishing...


I assure you, the doors are exactly the same colour. The left is a-jar, as you can see.



The young lad, Camaron, was with me for a single day. Work experience!?
I tried my best - I don't think I left him overly inspired.



I'm an uncle - he's a great kid,...  fortunately.

A referral from Mr & Mrs Richardson, also in Norsey Road.
(see work carried out here; http://tradetips.essexdecorator.net/#post7)


The old wallpaper was to be stripped.
Walls washed down and given my special skim treatment to flatten the walls.


They were in a bit of a state as you can see.






So then, sheeting furniture, painting ceilings - including two bathrooms, three coats on the walls,
knot, prime, undercoat and eggshell woodwork.




Stripping back the old and applying 4/5 coats of danish oil.


Then finish :)


 Oh and, whilst I was at Mr & Mrs Hammond's Paul Barnes did all the out side woodwork for me


 He didn't realise I'd put this pic up - please don't get the wrong impression.
