Wet.

Today has been a mixture of light rain and heavy rain. Not a good day to work outside. Instead I made a start on the second 'house' job I had planned for this summer. That is to refurbish the corridor outside Peter's study. Some years back there was a leaking pipe in the old attic above resulting in a stained and damaged ceiling and the light stopped working. I sealed off the corridor with plastic sheeting taped to the walls to contain the dust and managed to scrape off about 2/3s of the artex from the ceiling. It was a hard and extremely hot job. I felt like I was in a sauna and the sweat was pouring off my back! Unfortunately the last third of the ceiling seems to have had the artex done over wallpaper and doesn't come off so I think I'll have to leave that bit textured.
