That'd be me then.... :lol: but it is awe inspiring, isn't it? Anyone read the classic SciFi book Earth Abides? A bit like that...

Ok sands arrived, just get the cement and we can start screeding the floors.

rather sad in a way, desert reclaiming itself back and all that

I don't find it sad, John, I know what you mean though... kind of inspiring, too... that nothing is permanent... and if we are but a grain of sand in time, well, it's a sign of new beginnings also...

You might like to see these then, Mike, I did this, all by my little old self. Before I got together with Howard I lived in a 3 floor maisonette flat and this is my staircase work... the flat got sold, but the staircase remains untouched... :smilewinkgrin:
The bathroom was huge and had that horrible green suite+tiles and I couldn't afford to have it replaced, single young Mum and all that, so I wallpapered to balance, fitted high dado rails and sprayed the top with car spray paints, metallic green and gold, the wallpaper got a coat of clear acrylic... yep all myself, I'm still really proud of it, clambering about on ladders and things... the style suited the flat, the wall paper was cheap I think that bathroom revamp cost me about £50 at the time... :lol:

Yes, I had to tone down my tastes, too, I know the feeling, and now we are in a 'respectable' Persimmon house, so it's all very different... but still full of art in every corner... Howard has relaxed over the years :lol:..I can't do minimalist, (I've really really tried, lasts about 3 days..:lol:.) I need life and movement and variety and character and and and...
