Small project, big timescales

Saturday, 8th March 2008 by Julie

Witness our bathroom wall and its long-standing, dislikeable shade of blue. Look harder and you’ll see the efforts of the first two weeks of my bathroom wall painting project…

Week 1, session 1: Wall (just that one) gets a thorough cleaning while Jon plays in the hall.

Week 2, session 2: Postponed several times and cut short by Jon being overly fractious instead of playing happily as he usually does. (My arm was getting sore anyway.)

It’s a slow process.

As the helpful Adam pointed out: “Hard colour, that blue… Maybe need 4 coats to hide?” Goodness, I hope not!

“Baby steps”, as they say. Only I didn’t quite anticipate just how “baby” these were going to be…
