No longer a newbie, moving up!
Seeing as my site is still being a turd is it alright to randomly add bits to this thread as and when I want?
So, starting off. We've got a large shed at the end of the garden. When I was little I used to have a train set in there but it hasn't been used for years. It got filled full of crap. Three years ago we cleared out the loft and put stuff which was meant to either go to a car boot sale or stuck up on eBay. Up until two days ago it still had all the crap in there plus bits I've taken off of the car (carbs, bits of gearbox, dynamo, etc). I've always wanted a darkroom (well, since I wanted one anyway) so it was chosen to be put there. I phoned up the British Heart Foundation to arrange for them to collect all the **** except for my precious broom broom parts. They said it'd be a week. Get a phone call a few days later and he asks if he can pick it all up sooner. Woo.
So with less crap in there today it was cleared out. A santa and snowman light have been put in the garage ready to go into the loft. Various bits of garden furniture as well. The train set has been stripped and broken up. It was made out of two bits of roofing chipboard so was large. That will now be burnt on the fire in the living room when it gets cold. Wall paper has started to be stripped. Wire has been "obtained" for the safelights. And the same with a Belfast sink. Big heavy sod, at least 25kg in weight.
Tomorrow more wallpaper gets taken off. A power socket gets moved, a small area where a window was replaced gets some plasterboard put around it, a huge heavy set of draws will be moved.
Later on new wallpaper will go up, the room will be painted, a work area along two walls will be built, a water pipe will be laid all the way up the garden for the sink.
After dinner I'm actually going to test the enlarger and my DuoLab to see if they work. :mrgreen:
