My lovely door!

I don't want to give the impression that my house, and everything in it, is falling to bits, but, a few weeks ago I had to get a new front door fitted, as the old one was knackered, and only someone with special "heroes/ jedi" powers could lock it properly [that's me, by the way]!

As per usual, there was a bit of a "saga" with this... I was let down by one company several times (Thermoshield), and ended up going to a company called Dalmatian (totally recommend - family firm, unbelievably cheap but good quality doors).

I bought the house 10 years ago, when it was a "reposession" property, and had been vacant for over a year. It needed a lot of work doing to it, as the previous owners had ripped out some of the fixtures/ fittings etc. Also, one of the owners was a bit of a DIY fanatic, but not a very good one.... and is kind of responsible for the problems I had trying to get a new front door!

Anyway, the security firm came this week, and attached the alarm fittings to the new door, so it's all done now! Well, sort of, because now I have to decorate, as some of the paintwork is chipped etc, as you'd expect.

So I've sugar soaped, and am already to put off the painting til I can be arsed! Which will probably be about the same time as I finish the tortoise pen!

But out of interest, what order am I meant to paint in? Is it ceiling, woodwork, walls? Or ceiling walls, woodwork? And any volunteers? Nope? Didn't think so!
