I kinda agree with the mrs now i look back i should have done these jobs months ago :D
OK I also agree with your wife to some extent but you can claim that you could/would have made a far better job of it if you had left it till next week  ;)

Plenty of sympathy from this end!

Last year I redecorated a whole cottage and that took an age. Sold the place within a fortnight though.

This year it seems to have been a repeat but in the current home. Virtually no railway time at all.

New bathroom including replacement plaster on ceilings and walls being the most recent bit of work. Now the dreaded hall stairs and landing where I'll need a small tower to reach the ceiling that was damaged during a water leak.

Still enjoying the contact through the Forum so that's keeping me up to date and having a bit of fun.

Well Geoff, I've had mine for 30 years this coming Tuesday and am just about getting used to the current model, not sure if I would want to swap her and start all over again, good of you to offer though  ;)

last Christmas I got a Labrador puppy for my wife - I thought that wasn't a bad swap.

Seriously I would never swap my lovely wife she puts up with so much, and the yearly decorating is a joy when I have finished and look at my handy work, so not long now until I can get back to modelling.
