I just sacked the painters

My 150 year old floor is ruined. There is paint spilled everywhere. The job is as dodgy as all get out and I have a massive weekend of cleaning ahead of me. And this is just one room I'm talking about. I have saved the rest of the house! Please forgive me if I post another stalking house. I find this one calming. So lovely. So restful. So beautifully painted ;) Wish me luck. I'm heading back upstairs with a bottle of wine and a paint scraper to rescue what is left of the once beautiful patina on my cedar floors. Link for this lovely house here while it lasts.

Oh no! This reminds us to always protect our floors before starting to paint.

These guys did use drop sheets just not enough or thick enough. They spilled so much paint that the sheets were wet with it when I got home. Most had been dumped along the edges of the room. I removed them quick smart before taking the photos to avoid more damage.

We have started the process of pursuing compensation. It will take time though. - Jo
