beesher Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I knew my lack of skirting board would get called into question! Had a leak under the floor so the floor is partially ripped up which includes some of the skirting. Full skirting boards the be restored this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Should paint that area with an acrylic paint to make those tea/food splashes easier to wipe away IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair we only changed the tiles because the builder ballsed them up and they were lifting and they agreed to replace with wood flooring 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-in-law put in the first lot - I used to tell my wife he came up here to practice his DIY so he knew how to do it right for his next job - but step son, who is a joiner, laid the second lot, and there have been no issues.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have it upstairs and down. The upstairs fitting was excellent, still perfect after 6 years - no separating, fitter cut into the door frames for a flush finish etc. The downstairs isn't quite as good with a few minor issues but it's good enough. Both done by the shops we got the wood from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Speaking of bins, im upstairs trying my best to work and I can hear the missus batter a wooden spoon off the edge of the bin (no euph) in the kitchen, probably trying to dislodge a rogue bit of pasta. Every fucking time. Just use another dirty spoon to scrape the shit of the wooden spoon ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't thought this through - she'd need a 2nd spoon to clean the 1st ad infinitum (or until your cutlery drawer is empty) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a whole swathe of festering mouldy spoons sitting in the dishwasher (which cant go on until its 100% full, not 99% or 98% despite me having to wash a fucking bowl for my sugar puffs earlier but thats another story) that she could use to scrape off the wooden spoon instead of trying to batter the bin like some deranged Ukrainian in the woods with a hammer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 My wife is one for wrapping up leftover/opened stuff in small plastic bags. She ties the end up in tiny knots which are impossible to undo - I end up ripping the bag apart. It happened just now with a chocolate muffin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
