Home renovation

This weekend, my dad and uncle came to stay for the weekend. My dad was running the Cardiff Half Marathon for charity and finished in an impressive 1:45:54 - Go Dad!

It was also the first time he'd seen our new little home - he loved it but also did hid 'dad' thing of finding work to be done - that doesn't really need doing.

And now these are my stairs:

Thanks Dad! ;-)

But actually, I love the way it looks, and how I hope it will look in the end. We'd been thinking of doing it but never really got round to it. But after a very enjoyable trip to B&Q to buy a triangle shavehook (I had to keep the label to know that!), a sand paper block and my very first power tool - a sander - I was ready to face the DIY world.

I'll keep you posted with some more pics.
