Day Three (of four)

That’s the living room, before and after. The fucking horrid fireplace is all but gone, although it’s been an utter bastard. Whichever genius put the thing in appears to have put the rocks/bricks about six inches in front of the wall, and then filled the gap with concrete/cement. It’s a serious bit of kit – or at least it was.
We’ve also stripped half the wallpaper from the hallway – it’s fucking Anaglypta, and an utter, utter cunt to get rid of – and half the wallpaper in the living room as well. Although (as the photos show) it’s also taken a whole chunk of plaster with it. But that wall needed reskimming anyway once the fireplace is removed completely.
Tomorrow is going to be quiet, as we’re doing social stuff instead of working at the house. And now I’m off for a shower, because I’m fucking filthy, ache all over, and aim to collapse for the evening soon after.
