Project H: Progress report
May. 16th, 2013 05:27 pmHallway status:
One wall is completely cleared, cleaned and ready for sealing. As the cheap vacuum can't deal with the plaster dust created by the sander and conks out after about 10 minutes, I ended up having to manually remove the thin layer of plaster which is an absolute bastard job. The end result is fantastic, though. I'm looking forward to making all walls look like that and then paint.
I've got the plasterer coming in on Monday to do the ceilings. While he's here, I may ask him to cover the board over the stairs as well to allow for a crisper, more modern looking hallway.
Plans for tomorrow:
Bookkeeping or further research most likely. If my hip allows for it, making a start on the rest of the walls.
Finances:
Yuck. I dislike bookkeeping, but as this is my job, I really need to make it part of my working week. Accountancy type people: start or end of week/month accounting? Benefits, drawbacks etc?
Current state of the house:
Absolute tip. There's Stuff everywhere.
Uses of First Aid kit:
One, but it's a doozy as I chunked my pinky nail while cleaning the wall.
State of the body:
Ugh. I dislocated my hip while reaching to finish the last corner which, considering I was on top of a ladder at this point, made for an exciting adventure. Now self-medicating with painkillers in the hopes of making it to Cthulhu tonight. Though the searing pain in my hip is really helping to take my mind off the state of my hands, so that's an upside.
State of the mind:
Fantastic, though missing
azekeil like crazy.
