Well after abysmally painting the outside of one window [1], I've come to the conclusion it'd be better to get a man in. Or even a woman. Details:- Downstairs:- Living room large double window Front door inc window next to it and woodwork Utility room small window Back door Kitchen double window Kitchen single window Upstairs:- Bedroom 1 large double window Bedroom 2 double window Bathroom small window Bedroom 3 double window Bedroom 4 ensuite window Bedroom 4 large double window [2] Possibly also soffit boards, gutters, drainpipes, double garage doors. The windows hinge at the top and I can't really see any way of painting them properly without taking the hinged bit of window off, painting both halves and re-assembling? The woodwork has a 8 year old layer of crappy paint on it, flaking off in lots of places, and the wood beneath isn't in that brilliant condition. I've planed a few mm of wood off the windows/doors I've prepared (where I can) and thats got down to reasonably good wood. Now before I go phoning around locally to get a few quotes, are there any peeps here who want to give me a quote? I'm in Milton Keynes if you didn't know. If you're a budding amateur who's good and who fancys a few (hundred?) squid in their back pocket, thats fine. (but only if you are good and won't fuck off half way through) [1] I really hate cutting in. No, really. FUCKING hate it. [3] [2] This is going to be a right pain in the arse to do as its right above the conservatory - scaffolding required. [3] It also plays hell with my bad leg. And I can't climb ladders really, so the upstairs windows I totally can't do.
