Never any rest for the old Barbarian

[The Barbarian]

Painted one of the living room walls yesterday. Looks ok.. Just finished making some Retro Teak shelving for the wall {simular sytle to the 60's Poul Cadovius shelving}, that's up as you can see, looks good. New Curtains & New carpet down this week.. It's Ok innit when the only time you get is on holiday..

I have an original starbust Metamec clock for the wall but needs a new Germanium 'AC122' transistor fitting in the mech.

I'm just totally redoing my living room. Been working on it bit by bit since before Xmas. Awkward 'cos I can't take furniture out, rest of house too full to take it. First time it's been done in years. Going light and modern this time. Was dark old & comfy. Doing white walls etc. Black leather chairs & studio couch, unusual looking light grey oak laminate floor & curtains. Light oak sideboard & shelf units. Trying to keep it light & simple. Coming together rather well actually.

Yeh ive been doing this since before crimbo but work just kept getting in the way. Im in the same boat i can't take the furniture out & ontop of that i have the new living room & new bedroom carpet across the living room as you can just see on the picture

I quite like fitting carpet & flooring. It's just a knack I seem to have for some reason. Never did it for a living.

Have fun Andr'e.

Side board, will have to go in the hall the sofa in the kitchen while i fit it.

[walpurgis]

Yeah. It's pretty hopeless fitting carpet when furniture is in the way. I know I've done it.

Here's my new flooring (& grey rug).



I had great fun doing it bit by bit across the room whilst shifting all the furniture around so I could work. It's done though and looks fine (if you like that sort of thing).

Makes me feel bad as really my whole house needs decorating... new carpets and everything... I just need to stop buying hifi for a while to allow funds for it

Wait till spring Bev. The walls will have less moisture and dry better.

I've just done two rooms. Only a bathroom, hall/landing and two more bedrooms to go.

(plus a garage extension, two sheds to refurbish, fences to fix & treat, garden to chop back, cars to service, speakers and TT to build, etc., etc! )

I have purchased tiles and stuff to do the bathroom but they have been sitting about for a few months now, I must get round to doing it...I just can't get excited about it... only guitar playing and music playing seems to get my attention at the moment...

Have you got a geranium transistor to go in it?
I have a few in a small spares box if you need one.
