Recent job in a converted farm steading, Kingsbarns. Kitchen refresh all in white and a Shower room which was stripped, lined, Acrylic Eggshell (anti mould) to ceiling, satin white to woodwork, then hang the new wallpaper. The customers first choice of paper wasn’t suitable due to most of the corners etc being well off plumb.
Basically, never use paper with straight lines when everything is not straight 😁

Exterior Woodwork in St Andrews last week.
This was a task and a half.
Previously poorly painted using waterbased stain on top of solvent based. This can be fine if it’s prepared properly, unfortunately this hadn’t been which results in most of the stain peeling off when trying to prepare.
Everything stripped back to a solid surface, bare wood was primed, wood to stone perimeters raked out and resealed, two pack woodfiller to various small rotten parts, all finished with Gori 88 Solvent based wood finish in Cocoa

Repainting a treatment room in Cupar a couple of weeks ago.
Fare bit of preparation due to the previous poor work.
All internal corners retaped as the ‘plasterers’ scrim hadn’t been applied properly, resulting in the plaster not being pushed right into the corners. This had been ‘fixed’ using decorators caulk 🤯
Top of the door facing had been ‘repaired’ screw heads left proud, screws removed, countersunk, refitted and heads filled with 2- pack wood filler.
Window sills chipped and peeling- due to zero primer - top coats straight on top of MDF - Stripped back completely, primed, then two coats of finish.
