dining room, moved the cabinet

I moved the cabinet from the side wall to the end wall. Then painted the side wall.


master bedroom, ceiling fix

Last layer of plaster. Trying to make the texture same as the overall ceiling. After plaster dries, I will apply ceiling paint. Hopefully it will blend in better.


living room, threshold primed (in progress)

After having completed the wood filler (3 coats and sanding), the oil base primer has been applied.

master bedroom, ceiling (in progress)

Fixing water damaged ceiling in master bedroom. Needed to cut out the thinned out gyproc and then started to gradually build up a ring layer of Sheetrock plaster.

Kept building up the ring layer until a solid patch achieved.

More to come.

Enclosed and patched the access holes that I cut last year to access and fix the leaking water pipe to the upstairs washroom.

I am building up the patching plaster in layers.

living room exterior entrance, threshold (in progress)

Scrapped the loose paint and applied some wood filler (filling holes and splits) to the threshold of the living room outside entrance.
