We had our downstairs ceilings replaced this week. We were supposed to be decorating Di’s office over this bank holiday weekend, but due to a unique blend of laziness, drying plaster, and the need for a\u00a0 little more work from the plasterer (happening this coming week) we didn’t start that. I can say that I’m really<\/em> pleased with the new, smooth ceilings. They definitely help me envisage how the house will look when everything is finished, and will certainly play a big part in making our living space more modern.<\/p>\n

A bit dull – hopefully I’ll be able to offer some photos of that office with some colour involved sometime soon! On other matters, you may recall that I cleared out the garage<\/a> back in June. From that article, note the poor lighting – one strip lamp and a single bulb\u00a0 at the other end.<\/p>\n

This weekend I improved the lighting at the ‘car’ end (and, perhaps more importantly, sorted everything out so that there is now room for either car in there!<\/p>\n

Looks pretty minging, but it’s now nice and bright. I’ll upgrade the other end from 1 to 3 strip lamps when I’ve got more cable, a distro box, two more lamp units, and more time. For now, the other end looks like this:<\/p>\n

Busy, but navigable. Another improvement I’m really happy with is that I’ve mounted my old Pioneer speakers in the corners.<\/p>\n

And rigged together a little hi-fi.<\/p>\n

Tunes and bright lighting means a happy and productive Neil in the garage. :)<\/p>\n

Oh and finally (for what I realize is quite a dull post, sorry about that), I’ve replaced the rusty 1978 light switches.<\/p>\n
