Dan rallied together most of his previous crew to return to do a second stint of what is going to turn out to be a rather epic ongoing spruce up project.

This week's task was to strip off all the wallpaper in the kitchen and hallway and get as much painting done as possible. Mr H had done a very thorough job of sticking the wallpaper up many moons ago so it took a lot of elbow grease and wet sponges to get it all back down again. Daiana showed herself to be quite the DIY painting expert and once the surfaces were suitably prepped set us to work glossing, rollering and doing the edges rather carefully.

We did go on a wild goose chase trying to find some peach paint but Mr H concluded he might have accidentally got purple instead but was willing to give lavender a punt. It does look rather fresh in there now and we are all looking forward to when he will next have us back to continue with the mamouth makeover. All of us that is expect Sioned who is sadly leaving us to return down South and rejoin Bristol GoodGym.
