every free day I have had lately I have been organising Mr Chookyblue doing "patch work" around windows and sanding etc.....the windows were put in but never finished and gaps filled on the inside.......who knows why..............lots of wall washing..........and finally some painting.......2 bedrooms and a bathroom to do..........
the bathroom was DISGUSTING........vanity gone, remaining tiles gone, flooring gone, rat eaten toilet seat gone.......stupid wall to the left around the toilet gone.........and the "brown" toilet is now white again.........that toilet cleaner stuff works amazing miracles.............i'll try and take some pics when it's done........
and it's not even my house..........
BUT it means I haven't got back to my quilt I started at retreat.........
waking up very early to catch the end of the day at the olympics...........
I am desperate for a day at home.......
Catch you later..............

Interesting work.... looks like the house could do with some new quilts too! Leave Mr.C to it for the weekend.
Looks like a lot of hard work!! Who is the house for?
Well done. Hard work.....will be well worth it in the end. Hope you can get some 'home' time and some stitching time too in there somewhere.

EEEEEWWWWW - thats all the stuff that gets put off. Will be good when its finished though. Hope you get your day at home soon!
Yikes all that work and its not your house, hope someone special appreciates you and Mr C! We have just had the whole of the inside of our house painted and apparently professional painters dont pre wash walls! Ha who knew, it was one of the reasons we decided to suck it up and pay someone!
Good luck with the renovations....hope you get a day at home soon!!
How exciting, colours??? looking forward to pictures soon.
A very useful definition of "patch work" and having great results.
you know the saying... a change is as good as a holiday (funny Ha Ha)
Some of my UFO's could do with some spakfiller. Hope you get stitchin soon!
I'm sure it will be worth it in the end! - Glad you didnt show us the "Brown" toilet - yuk! Hopefully you will get back to it soon.
Ambitious is what you are....it is just too hot here to be that ambitious but winter time is the time for it so I suppose you're right on q...is this a renter house, then?

I didn't think I recognised that bathroom :)) crack that whip
What a big job....is Mr Chooky taking on a new job in the home reno line?....I am intrigued.......pleased to see you both can be involved in the 'patchwork'......but I think you prefer the fabric kind???
