The ceiling received its second and final coat of paint, so it is now as Antique White USA as it is ever going to get. 'Why is ceiling paint different?' 'Because you don't need to wipe spills off the ceiling.' Makes sense, I suppose. If you're one of those people not drawing on the ceiling.
The bathroom floor received its anti-water covering. A chemically coated cement sheet, I believe. It, along with the bathroom walls, were then covered in primer. It is totally ready for the next stage now!
The biggest change of the week (the ceilings were already pretty white and the bathroom had floor) was the arches being fitted in the passage. After making the arches to the wrong size last week the new ones came direct from the manufacturer late Friday afternoon and the plasterers were onsite at 7am Sunday morning (heathens!) to fit them. I was onsite a little after 7am and WOW what a difference they made. They are unpainted, as are the walls around them. But WOW! The passage looks as we hoped it would be. And it still has the hanging lights and skylights to be fitted. We'll put flooring in later, whatevers. The point is - WOW!
I'd just like to add that after working super hard all weekend I then ran 15km in 90 minutes (on my treadmill) Sunday evening. Sure, I could hardly walk Sunday night as my achilles tendons shrunk to about half their normal size, and today my hips have crapped out on me, but 15km!! I'd do a happy jig, but you know, crapped out hips and everything...
Also, my car was fixed last week - no more will I have people offering lamentations every damn time I park it in public, and no more shooing lamenters away from it in the morning so I can drive to work. I get it, its worthy of lamentations, torn clothes, ripped flesh, weeping and moaning and singing. But for three weeks? Ugh! I dropped it off Monday morning and picked it up Wednesday morning - pretty good turnaround really.
So many tubs of paint and 'putty' and stuff I have no idea what to call it lying around.
Saturday, no arches:
Sunday - arches WOW!
Archerific!!
One day this will transition to another room!
15km!!
