So I took all of your advice on board (and laughed myself silly at Emma). I put it to my husband that he please not attempt to do it because I could just see the drama. I know he is very handy and I have no doubt he is a perfectionist, but I was worried about the whole thing. I could just see it turning into a disaster. I mean, it would be his first attempt and it's a huge wall right in the centre of our house.
SO.....I asked a lovely friend of mine would she know of someone that could do it (her husband is a painter) and she has given me a name of an older man that can do it. That's as far as I have got. I will try to contact him next week, but I am sceptical as I doubt he will be in a rush to do my single little job. We live in a town with only 50,000 people, so finding a specialist in this area is not easy!
The office furniture won't arrive until January, so I might just hang tight. In the meantime I am thinking of a back-up plan just in case - huge artwork?
And on another note - remember when I posted about the gates I thought I was getting months ago??? Well I am venting my frustrations...still nothing. If I showed you my temporary fencing on the sides of our house you would probably wet yourself laughing. With a few weeks until Christmas and a promise that they will be on, I have this sick feeling I will be entertaining my husband's family while we look at chicken wire/boards/school fencing on the sides of my house :(
I am putting this wish out to the universe and hopefully they magically appear. Please someone grant me some gates!
