THE trials commentator Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 right,my dads away for a week or two,so im re-doing the living room for him,which is why im always skint at the moment.i'm doing it all myself,no builders or nothing,so everything in the finished product will have been done by me i'll chuck some pictures up of how it is at the moment.as you can see from some of them,ive just started wiring the new lights in (yes its clipped to the ceiling,cos im putting a false ceiling up,so it'll be covered) and ive painted some of the walls.i'll post some pics up of the end result when its done in a week or so...hopefully.[attachmentid=7868][attachmentid=7869][attachmentid=7870][attachmentid=7871][attachmentid=7872][attachmentid=7873]Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Nice project mate, hope you don't get "Mike Syndrome" and get bored half way through...I do it all the time, then spend the rest of the project moaning that I shouldn't have started it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE trials commentator Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 hahah,i could do it pink,although my dad would probably kick me out...then i'd be homeless hahah.mike syndrome?i get that all the time but as this will sweeten my dad up,it'll hopefully mean i dont have to pay rent for a while im gonna rip up the carpets an lay wood flooring,im gonna make a step in the floor near one wall,and put some little led lights in it.switcheless chrome sockets,chrome light swithes,spotlights where the cables are,although there will be more than 4 eventually.that room had only one light in the middle,which is why i have to re-wire it.im doing 4 spotlights in the middle and four in the corners of the room.they'll be on two switches,four inners on one,and four outers on the other.just ripping the skirting board off at the moment,gonna replace it with 6 inch skirting,which means i have to higher all the sockets!so far im on day 2...Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Right when you coming todo my living room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Hughes Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Oh nice. The other week I decorated my room (still a few finishing touches to go), but it was the first time I have done something like it 100% on my own, although I found it a bit boring at times, there is something quite satisfying/rewarding about it once its all done. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on that? u must be joking Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 It sounds and looks like it's going to be good. Nice one. I just want to check at this point that your dad has either asked you to do it or at least expressed some dissatisfaction with the state of the room as it was before he went away?Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE trials commentator Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 nah he didnt ask for it to be done,i just decided to do it i was bored with it being a shit-hole,and i know he cant have liked it either.Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
