Re: Builders Excuses!
I really feel for you Loretta
We could do with some decorating doing. Iwant the paper in the through lounge taken off & the walls just painted but I think it would probably need to be re plastered or at least skimmed over first on most of the walls. I just cant face the upheaval though
Its only a small house & I cant imagine where everything would go while the work is going on, Plus the spare bedroom wants doing as well ( that needs plastering as well). - its just a junk room really now. - hubby wont put stuff in the attic - he says if it needs to go in the attic then it means you dont need it so everything goes into the spare room. 
Most of the stuff in there is his stuff anyway & he wont throw it out. We've only got the two bedrooms I'd feel ashamed if anybody needed to stay there

Re: Builders Excuses!
Our floor retiling is finally finished. The men turned up late again today but they stayed late and finished everything and they have done a really good job. The problem now is that I've taken everything to put back where it was originally and somehow or other things that came out of cupboards don't seem to fit in now ! Tomorrow will be spent cleaning and in this heat that's no joke but absolutely everywhere is covered in dust from the tile cutting etc.I hate decorating Lynne and I swore years ago I would never have wallpaper ever again. We just have plain painted walls easier to just slap some paint on but the rooms are quite large so it still takes longer than I like. The outside of the house also has to be painted every 2/3 years and that is a marathon tast, it keeps my OH busy and out of my hair for a couple of months though, haha.

Re: Builders Excuses!
I'm glad to hear your tiling is finally finished Loretta
Its surprising what junk you find when you have to empty cupboards to get any work done 
You'll be needing plenty of hot water now to get all your cleaning done I think thats the worse part - cleaning the muck up afterwards & finding space to put everything back. Just take your time.
