Sold my kawasaki zx750r 9 years ago to move house and my Yamaha lc2 for a new boiler 3 years ago, Good luck with your new house, you want flat ceilings and walls no artex, also no Mdf skirting and architrave its crap. Vinyl matt ceiling and walls and satinwood for your woodwork and she will want it all done for easter so get your brush's out, enjoy
Just going through this with my Dad (Mum died end of Nov '14). He's been in his house since 1961 (he built it, on land in Ramsgate our family have owned since at least 1632 !!), but needs now to downsize and move closer to me and the rest of the family. The thing is.....he's 93 :Jawdrop: It's fun
Now thats cheating Use Crown or Dulux trade, when doing white on walls you might have to do an extra coat to cover previous colour, Mr Biscuit, sorry about your mum mine was Nov 11, 2013,
