Nose to the grindstone

After a couple of weekends off, Jason has his nose to the grindstone.

Back to the salt mines. Once more into the breach. Rolling up his (imaginary) sleeves. Same sh*t, different day.

So many idioms, so little time for painting the sunroom.

Jason is painting the bathroom door which used to be green, then mushroom, then cream and now white! Layer upon layer of history on that door.
The sunroom is slowly becoming the white room. Clearly, we will bore you with its progress until it's finished.

Our newly painted linen cupboard to the left of the bathroom door.

    Loving all that white white white. Alas that custard cream door colour is so familiar to me. Actually Betsy is more just custard without the cream. Jason must be close to finishing the interior now? Love to have a complete tour when he is finished.......

    That was a quick two weekends. Looking forward to being bored. Seems we all like watching paint dry here.

    I'm enjoying every stroke. That sounded weird. Painting interests me no end.

    It's turning out beautifully. That handle is very high up, isn't it - are you intimidatingly tall people (just checking lest we meet)?

    There's that MMMC stealing the show! How do you get your husband to paint? I have that oh so pleasant job here at the LC.

    Thanks everyone!

    How do I get Jason to paint? I just tell him I need material for a blog post and then he whips off his shirt, picks up a brush and says, "At your service!"

    Tom, this old house will never be finished I suspect...
