The concrete floor has been painted with four coats of two pot epoxy paint to seal the surface and hopefully keep the water out. The grey coloured lines in the floor are where some extra epoxy has been applied to cracks in the concrete where water has being getting in. Under todays more strict building regulations none of this water problem would occur. This work combined with some flash outside drainage pipes should restore these rooms to their former use.
I have painted the skirting boards and the scotias and done some jib stopping of the walls ( Photo above - left under the wall plugs and above the recessed book case.
Painting and decorating, renovations and the building and restoration of yachts always reminds me of the contrast between the huge declarations of intent that can be contained within a few sentences and the reality of making it happen!!
Tomorrow I begin painting the walls.

Flooded “Granny flat”, what happened with granny?
I like the word saw horses, looking at all the work you did you must be a working horse.
You are completely right, making plans any fool can to some extent, but making them work is another thing and it costs an awful lot of time.
Saw a Laser race today, can’t wait to see you fly in your Starling.
When the "Granny flat" flooded, Granny floated away. While floating she had a floating 'Road to Damascus' experience and converted to the religion called sailing. She was last seen sailing single handed somewhere in the Western Pacific.
I now leave this laptop and begin the big paint! - Then it's the big Starling Push!
....... and yes Ben, I am a 'Work Horse' and I must pace myself and not end up in the 'Knackers Yard' as a prospect for the pet food factory. But I think I will be safe; I can only do in a day what I am physically capable of doing; you can't 'Flog a dead horse' as the saying goes ..... and I really Must go and paint now ... perhaps pretend I am Picasso to relieve the tedium LOL.
