Work in the house this week; I have taken the bedroom teardown as far as I can at the moment. As much wallpaper as I can get to has gone, the skirting board is being sanded down, the window sill has been sanded down, and a bit more of the carpet has been taken out. Next week the rebuild begins.

At the art gallery tearoom, earlier. "What's the soup of the day?" "Expensive".

Another week's work on the house; I found another wall that I could reasonably start stripping down. May as well do as much of it as I can in one go, as it limits how many times I have to have relatives over to move furniture around.

Well, that's literally hours of fun to be had spamming Google.

Discovered whilst removing wallpaper. There are many questions you could ask, and all of them are valid. For myself I'm asking 1) why?, 2) why is he so angry?, and 3) does anybody have a spare room (heck even a sofa would do) I can sleep on or in? I won't be able to sleep with that on the wall.

Another Sunday. More sanding floorboards. The good news is, I've gone about as I can with it without moving furniture. So next week I start papering a wall and staining some skirting board.

Oh yes. Reddit gives and gives… this time with “Curse of Oak Island Bingo Cards.” www.reddit.com/r/OakIsland/... #curseofoakisland

And now what I actually had on my to-do list today. More sanding down floorboards, like I was last weekend. Still a lot to be done before this floor is ready to be stained.

Things I didn't intend to be doing today: submitting some of my 'stuff' for an exhibition.

6 boards sanded across the room; objective achieved. The dust though...

Today's activity in my house restoration is sanding down some of the floorboards in the master bedroom. Happily it looks like there is only one layer of paint to cut through, in contrast to the staircase where there were seven or eight.
