Hello - I am new to this website and hope that I am using it correctly to get the ball rolling. I am a trained cabinetmaker who has also spent quite (more tan 2years) a while (more than 2years) teaching that trade. Having recently retired from the 'day job' we have bought a house that needs redecorating throughout. I'm encountering some need for building work and when the builders aren't available, i just have to tackle jobs on my own. I'm learning a lot about stripping, filling and sanding.....the painting is the easy part!
