Busy Bee - I ain't doing this much work and not sharing it with you!!

Well since I last wrote the old travel schedule has been hotting up with trips to Staunton Virginia, that really all I can say about there.....Ohio, Kentucky and Houston twice but in between that I went to Catherine's parents house and worked my DIY magic again with some help from my wee friend.

There had recently been a flood in the basement of the house and it had ruined the carpet. So we decided that it would be a good time to rip up the carpet and why not stain the concrete floor!

This is where the fun started...

To set the scene Catherine and I had to move everything from the room which was a gym and tanning room and for a couple of wee ones it went pretty well. We managed this with no major mishaps apart from me nearly chopping Catherine's hand off but I really don't want to talk about that...

Then me etching the floor with acid, yes gloves and a mask makes me look like I am back in the old Rezurrection days!!


The finished product





It was actually fun to do, so much so that we have decided to do the same in the main room of the basement!! I bore you with the details of that once it is finished
