Today was a productive day filled with painting, wallpapering, and furniture touch-ups. Let’s dive into the details!
Wallpaper and Paint: A Dynamic Duo
The wallpapering process continues, with the additional coats of paint and varnish adding depth and richness to the space. The walls are starting to take shape, and the final result is eagerly anticipated.
Filling the Gaps: Expanding Foam to the Rescue
To address the holes and gaps in the walls, expanding foam proved to be a valuable tool. This versatile material sets quickly, allowing for easy cutting and sanding. However, it’s important to exercise caution. Wear gloves and a face mask, as the foam can irritate the skin and release harmful vapors. Proper ventilation is also essential.
A Well-Deserved Break: A Day Out and a Hearty Meal
After a productive day of DIY, a well-earned break was in order. A trip to Ilkley included a visit to an eBay find and a treasure hunt through local charity shops. The day concluded with a visit to Gordon Rigg’s, a renowned garden center known for its diverse plant selection.
A Culinary Delight: The English Breakfast
To fuel the body and mind, a classic English breakfast was enjoyed. This hearty meal, a staple in British cuisine, includes bacon, egg, lamb chop, Cumberland sausage, black pudding, potato cake, fried bread, beans, and onion rings. A true indulgence for any time of day!
