Paint fumes, more paint fumes
Got off to a bad start with the decorating. I was using a craft knife to remove excess wallpaper from the join between wall and ceiling (they meet with some coving (?!) stuff) but got carried away . . . removed too much. Fortunately I realised after one wall . . . one wall too late. Damn it. Then I was all set up to use my paint roller for the ceiling. Poured a load of white looking paint into the tray and then filled up the roller with this paint. Then I'm thinking, "That's a funny smell. That don't smell like emulsion." Then suddenly it clicked - I was using gloss, rather than emulsion. AAARRRRRGHHHH! So I figure gotta throw the paint roller away, it being pretty much useless now. Paint roller had a brief meeting with one of the kitchen doors before entering the bin. But yeah . . . I did the ceiling with white emulsion in the dining (front) room whilst M**** did the walls in the same room. We had a break in the late afternoon when we took A****** for a walk in Williamson's Park. More painting in the evening. La di da.
