Ok, so the bedroom, in my opinion, the longest and most work intensive job so far (for me anyway). Although we have discovered that I am not so good at painting, leave me alone with a Black and Decker paint stripper (£5 car boot sale!) various scrapers and Magic FM and I have the patience to strip walls. There were at least 2 layers of wallpaper and various layers of pain on top of them, it was a labour of love!

The Ceiling
Who wallpapers a ceiling!! Well, once the wallpaper was gone, we realised why. The ceiling is lath and plaster and was made (in the 1920's) with horse hair... mmmmm nice! We had to knock out some of the more damaged sagging parts and fill them as you can see in the pictures.

Begone black wall!
The external wall was bitchumened, so we battoned and put up plasterboard.

Interesting spelling of "bitumen" baby.
