The name\/word Billy is on our floor!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I took up the carpet, in the \u2018master bedroom\u2019, over the last few days. We\u2019ve been here nearly eight years, and I\u2019ve been wanting to do this since day one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old Victorian floorboards are all long gone, alas. Instead we have chipboard floors. And, rather weirdly, the name Billy appeared, in one corner, once the carpet was gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did a layer of grey underpants\u2026 er, I mean undercoat<\/em>! And then a layer of \u2018heavy duty floor paint\u2019. Both shades o\u2019 grey (albeit not 50). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I did all this after<\/em> an evening delivery shift (5.45-9.15pm). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I\u2019d got to the point pictured above, I took a break. I then resumed, but took no more pics. I opted to move all but one of the larger chests of drawers (that\u2019s three out of four!), and paint where they sit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This still means I\u2019m tackling the floor piecemeal; the room\u2019s too heavily in constant use to simply clear it. Plus there\u2019s too much stuff and not enough space to do so anyway. So I\u2019ll have to work around stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The undercoat was dry in next to no time. The heavy duty floor paint needs a whole lot longer to dry. I\u2019ll be checking in on it tomorrow – which is actually now later today! Pics of that to follow\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
