It's been a bit quiet round here for a while. We've been busy renovating t'other half's old flat (I signed up for a quick bit of decorating and then discovered it was many weekends of hard labour at the other end of the county... ah well, it must be love).
Here are my tips for the day:
1. Use a mini-roller (with a gloss sleeve) when glossing (but remember to paint in the awkward bits first) - much quicker and much less prone to drips.
2. Use trade paint wherever possible - it's thicker and generally covers whatever surface in just one coat (how else do you think painters get the job done so quickly *and* have time for multiple cups of tea?)
3. New carpets. Don't rip up the old gripper rods (tackless strips to our American cousins) when you take up the old carpet. And if you do, where thick gardening gloves when dealing with putting new ones down. I learnt that one the painful, somewhat bloody way.
