Finished floor and new shelving

Well the second coat of paint is done and dried. And I'm quite pleased with how it's gone. It did take while to go off as I only have a small fan heater in there at present, and it needs at least 24 hours at 20C. The only thing that could be better is that due to having put it on a touch thick, well at least 50% thicker than expected, there are a few roller marks that have been left. But having been walking about in there for a few days, I no longer notice them so it can't be too bad!



And now the floor has dried I can make a start on clearing the loft and sorting out all my stuff. And it's not going to be a particularly quick task I suspect! But one thing that should help is an Ebay purchase from a few months back. I managed to acquire 5 sets of Big Dug shelving for £95, so they'll be going up along the wall next to the side door. They'd all be up already, but I realised I'd only got one set of feet for them. Not sure what happened to the rest, but I don't have them. So I rang Big Dug this morning to get a price for 16 feet only for the nice man to say that they'd be sending them to me for free as a good will gesture. I think this is amazing service, as although the bits probably don't even cost a few pennies to make, sending them to me takes time and effort. And the shelves seem nice and solid once I've screwed them to the wall too, so all round a good job!
