Note‘s: Eye sore phase !.
To complete my most immediate decorations. In phase’s. eye sore’s my hallway looked pretty bad when I moved in.
Firstly; “don’t drill, Scraping with wall paper scraper or bang things around, as well with playing music to obviously“; the wall’s are so thin I can hear a phone call be discussed next door !. at night as there is a very sick lady downstairs’ actually her bedroom is beneath where I am decorating so it’s is apparently inconvenient.
What I can do are these thing’s in the morning and up until a certain time at night let say 9-10 cleaning up.
I can continue anyway which will take only a few day’s to do as I am quite down already with the painting of the under coat may only take one coat. So the main paint goes on in 2 coat’s quite easy with no mixing.
What I will do is sand down the skirting board and door’s for gloss paint before laying down the carpet which I have too cut. I want to also put more putty in the window’s or glass in the flat which are above the door’s so put masking tape around window’s the one I did above my bedroom door that had been loose is now firmly placed. And I put it in the window frame only 2 hour’s earlier.
Also clean the window off paint with white spirits if to take of the gloss paint that is on the glass and there is also putty on it to.
Sanding down does not take long if I have the right sand paper grade so because there is already a coat on it I should be fine. Also there is some part of the door frame that has not been painted on so needs to be primed.
Also paint the case’s for wiring it really hides them in the paint work of the wall because they stand out like a pink elephant all along the wall’s and are badly done, the bit by the intercom need’s shortening. To fit maybe I should cut it with my Stanley knife today.
Sand down the paint with a fine grade paper. Undercoat and main paint colour first coat. So the final coat goes on well. Be careful of drip’s with gloss on the door’s so load up the brush with small amount’s of paint. Paint the whole inner and outer door-frame first and only paint one side of the actual door for appearance . I think that I have to paint the frame first because the paint may run down the door when it is already dried so do in this way
When all that is done. I can go on to the second phase which is the living room. Then removing the wallpaper, I can paint the other side of the door.
Keep that green box with cover’s as my tool box and carry it around from room to room if I want to, it is so convenient as I don’t know what I am doing and what I want so it Is better to have it whilst I am learning by experience/instruction some thing’s like the caulking can go wrong but I may over come it as in with using a brush instead of a cloth. Always keep the brush/putty knife wet when applying putty or smoothing putty as it would prevent it getting stiff
Note: Safety
{ If I or someone else such as a work man slammed the door maybe even the wind slammed it shut the glass could of fell out and smashed . It was that loose and badly done as is everything in this flat the previous tenant’s or the owner’s , it is possible they just had not inspected the place since they purchased it or it was built it is that sad. A state and ill repair or inconsequential to someone would is employed for the upkeep of the place.
I had to do everything myself, they are not trying to sell the place like a new estate management company would. They are only falsifying me or pacifying me ? }.
