All walls have been sanded and washed.
Skirting boards, doorframes, window frame and ledge - all freshly painted, glossy and white.
More sticky damp-proof gunk has been painted on the outside wall.
A coat of Dulux 'Picket Fence' (aka 'cream') has been slapped on the two walls that were ready for it (every time I look at that paint-job now, I'll be thinking of Torchwood. I hope those of you who're into Torchie caught the afternoon play on Radio 4 this afternoon, or are you all podcasting it?)
Tomorrow, we put the final coats of paint on and - we're done. Yay. ::waves fist in air in a slightly tired and half-hearted fashion:: We need to buy new curtains to match the new walls and eventually, a new carpet (but we're putting up with the tatty, stained ones for now, buying all-new carpets when we're ready to sell.
We're almost at the station. One more day to go. An electrician is (hopefully - you know how it is) coming on Friday to sort out the dodgy switches so we can fit the new lights and replace the furniture.
All showered and shiny, I have a glass of red in my still slightly paint-stained hand, chilli's cooking gently downstairs, there's an IT Crowd DVD keyed up and ready to go...

Too cool for subject
I long to be all showered (or bathed in my case as we are sans shower) and shiny too, but it will have to wait until I get the kids to bed. But red wine has, however, been procured. It's half-past week - time to celebrate! Well, that's my philsophy anyway :-)
That's a good philosophy
Sending the midweek love. ♥

You are right to feel virtuous. Go you! *g*
So you're doing all this work just to sell the house? Yikes! You ARE virtuous. =>}
Selling the house
You ARE virtuous
Lol, not at all you have to make it perfect before you sell these days.
Re: Selling the house
I'm glad you'll get some use out of your prettified house at least for awhile. =>}
I guess not too many people nowadays want fixer uppers.
Re: Selling the houseI guess not too many people nowadays want fixer uppers
We like our house and we'll enjoy having it fixed up, for sure - it's needed it for a long time and we've been putting it of forever.

After all the work you've put into it, I hope you really enjoy it! =>}
