Oddjobs are at it again, I've had so many projects it's unbelievable. Firstly there's the 'Play console games' project, then 'Do nothing' project and somewhere around 19th place is the 'Do DIY!' project.
One particular project I didn't have any success with (I Suck!) was the 'Super Secret' project I had kept from Ellen. Part of her folding chair broke, so I decided to craft some new parts out of wood. Needless to say I didn't have the same tools and it all went horribly wrong. The plus side is that there's now more chunks of firewood available... That was true intention the whole time. Lesson 1 : Bodj Bodj job = Useful material!
The next project was the 'cover-the-horrible-wall-in-the-front-room-corner-with-plaster' project! Granted there are more horriribler walls to choose from but I chose the easiest one. So it went from looking like this:
Urgh, put it away!! My eyes... They be bleedin' !!!
To this :
Easy pleasy on the eyes!
To be honest I've no idea why Ellen was scribbling on it with a big white piece of chalk. (What?! She used sanding paper... ON MY WORK?!) She also prepared the wall's face for a nice splash of makeup. So it went from looking like crap. To looking like the colour of crap. To blue.
Oh telephone wall socket, you are so shy!
The next thing for me to do in the living room is to make a cover for the hideous gas meter. Granted there are more hideodously meters to choose from but I chose the easiest only one we've got.
Urgh, cover it up. My eyes... they just be recovering... now they be burnin' !
I'm about half way through this project so I will be completed in the next few days. Ellen can then paint it and the gasman can struggle the next time he comes to read the meter.
"Uhhh what meter?? Care for a cup of tea Mr Gasman? I'll ummm just put the kettle on... on... the floor. 'Cause we won't be needing
that, because we don't use gas"
