Covid Chronicles: Days Two to Six – A DIY Delight
Brotherly Bar Banter
Ah, the morning after a night out in Manchester with my dear brother Rob. We embarked on a quest, or rather, a stumbling journey, from one bar to another. What a brilliant idea, right? Fast forward to the next couple of days, and reality hits me like a ton of bricks, or more appropriately, like a load of DIY tasks Michele generously bestowed upon us.
Welcome to the DIY Wonderland
The builders, those magical creatures with hammers and saws, finally bid adieu after completing the extension and giving our humble abode a stylish new roof. Now, it was our turn to shine in the DIY arena. Armed with determination and a slightly outdated playlist, we geared up to retile the kitchen and unleash our inner decorators.
Tiling Tango
Tiling – a dance with adhesive and porcelain partners. Let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it sounds. There were moments when the tiles, rebellious as ever, decided to take a plunge. A few accidental tile water ballets later, and the kitchen floor resembled an avant-garde mosaic. But fear not, for with the precision of a surgeon and the finesse of a maestro, we rescued those tiles, wiped away the evidence, and glued them back in place.
Redecoration Rhapsody
With the kitchen now boasting a fresh set of tiles, it was time to dive into the world of redecoration. Brushes in hand, we waltzed around the rooms like DIY royalty. The walls, once dull witnesses to our daily lives, now sported vibrant hues that screamed sophistication – or at least we hoped they did.
Victory Lap
As the dust settled and our DIY battlefield transformed into a homey haven, Michele, the true judge and jury, inspected our handiwork. To our delight, she beamed with approval. The kitchen had been reborn, and our redecoration efforts were met with a resounding success.
