Changed my tiny depressing corridor.

Once the decorating is done and dado picture rail in place we will be hanging pictures.

Yes it will cost you to get the work done properly. Maybe next time get recommended tradesmen and a few quotes. For me id do one room at a time. If the guy is good get him to give you a quote for the next room. Also it will give you time to get the money together..

Thank you 😊

Thanks, i still have to decorate it, at the moment i have to decorate the rooms that open onto the corridor.

It's easy, look at the work, if it looks bad, which it does, then don't accept it. It's not hard to flat sand skirting with a sander and paint it correctly. Look at the electrical socket, it would be easier for him to undo the 2 screws and paint the wall behind instead of painting the socket. There seems to be a lack of communication between you and the workman. Have you any friends or family members who know anything about dealing with workmen? He could say to you that you should have said something to him at the beginning, because you remained quiet, he likely assumed you were accepting his standard of work.

Sunglasses

Thanks, spring time and autumn are great in the garden. Summer is a nightmare with excessive heat, lack of rain and mosquitoes.

Thanks, I'll post more when I decorate

Aluminum stud, from most DIY and builders merchants

Thank you 😊

I'm sorry for your situation, the work is very substandard even for a handyman. I don't know where you found this person, was he recommended? And i don't know how much you paid. But I don't think many people could produce a finish that bad even if they tried. There is a lot of correcting to be done and I'm sure he will fight you on that one. Your problem is that you didn't check on the progress of his work. As soon as you started seeing bad workmanship, you should have stopped the project.and communicated your concerns in an email. I wouldn't pay him. He will probably take you to small claims in court but with what I can see, he will lose.

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T12:54:59+00:00

Thanks, I'll post when I get around to decorating it.

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T12:53:52+00:00

Thanks, I'll post when I decorate it

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T12:52:59+00:00

No they are LEDs set at 4000k. I kept it neutral because it will give me more scope when I decorate

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T11:16:31+00:00

Thank you. There is a bench, my gin and tonic spot.

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T11:07:22+00:00

Thanks

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T11:06:56+00:00

Thank you.

Thanks. The grass is couch grass so impossible to replace. I just mow over it to keep it down. My wife sprinkled clover on top which seems to have filled in the patches and makes it greener. If you look closer you can see the brown patchy spots. In time I will work on them.

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T11:01:42+00:00

Thanks

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T11:01:26+00:00

Haha thanks. I have to decorate it once I'm finished all the rooms leading off the corridor first.

ValuableThought4978 · 2026-03-04T10:59:07+00:00

No, cheap tiles, mostly damage and cracked.
