Well I finally got round to laying the laminate flooring in the ground floor hallway. What a performance! 3 sets of architraves to cut around… I made a bit of a mess of it, but the overall effect is good. Its only a problem if you look at the edges, but they will get covered over when I put beading round it. The toilet and cupboard doors are a bit tight now and need planing at the bottom so tomorrow I will see about going to buy a plane so I can do that. (Why don’t I have a plane? I seem to have everything else.)
I don’t think I quite have enough wood left to do the upstairs landings and the cupboard in the living room, and certainly don’t have enough underlay – I used up all of that. I shall have to do some calculations to see whether I need to buy another box or another two boxes of wood. I need to get that done so we can do the carpeting on the stairs.
Actually, as I sit here and look out to the stairs, they look distinctly uneven. I have have to check them with the spirit level. Even if they are crooked, I don’t think I could face having the builders in again, so they can stay that way!
