… body work…

… can do wonders…. but where is the handyman?

at least according to the new theory around this house, not that it would have anything to do with sports in the normal context, but heavy labour re-decorating parts of the house. I feel muscles I haven’t even known they existed and if I keep up with this I will be up for the Ironman competition in July. Surprisingly enough, nobody else I know share this view with me…

I have been asking myself the past weekends, where the handy-man supposing to be around any house has gone… things like painting the ceiling, laying out new floor tiles and carrying sacks of smoothing cement is not really my cup of tea, not that it doesn’t do me any good, it’s just a real pain…

Where is the handy-man when you need advise in laying out tiles or if half the wall comes down on you as there are old layers of paint underneath?? I have been through most do-it-yourself videos, and need a damn dictionary afterwards as there are tools I haven’t even known they existed, nor able to spell them…

Anyway, the result in the hallway is stunning, (if you ignore the fact that there are spots of paint in some places where they shouldn’t be) and the floor tiles at the entrance are actually pretty straight, only one broke while tiling and the rest - like filling and stuff is due on Thursday. I could do - do-it-yourself videos for women… something I might consider when I go into retirement..Someone with a lot of influence was with me yesterday as the rain started only after I was finished with the tiles.. Thanks - good stuff!

So long - and anyone seen my handyman - send him over…
