Fixing Up This Broken Home - Weekend Paint Spree!

[@adenvet2830]

Hi Dave nice to see you again mortgage V no mortgage is a no-brainer and each step forward no matter how little will give enormous satisfaction and always remember Rome wasn't built in a day.

Great video. I like the white paint in the hallways. It looks very clean and crisp. Things will always look different once you do the flooring and add all of your accessories and wall art. Great job!

[@FromLeedsToWest]

We have so much wall art. We now have so much more wall space. I’m in no doubt it will all get eventually filled.

[@anniemacsrecommendations3883]

Well done so far 😊

[@brucecoddington4835]

Thank you for sharing a new video, the upstairs hallway is looking great!

[@FromLeedsToWest]

It’s a vast improvement. Thanks Bruce.

So glad to see a video pop up today. You’re doing great, even when cash is so tight. You’ve got your health, don’t have to travel anywhere near as much now you’ve moved in. Things will improve, in the meantime do as you can.Be safe and keep healthy. Have a happy holiday month, and remember to make memories, as all the other big stuff aren’t what you remember it’s the small stuff that you do remember always. All the best to you and your family,Maureen.

[@FromLeedsToWest]

Thanks Maureen. All the best to you to. Have a great holiday month. Dave.

Your doing a great job. Hopefully you'll get more subscribers.

[@FromLeedsToWest]

Thanks. I must be doing something right. Gained plenty recently. Thanks for the continued support.

[@LookingForLloyd]

It'll be interesting to see you sort the skylight. I'd like to see what it looks like from above.

[@knelson5442]

Great job!! You have an amazing drive and the outcome is so Impressive.

[@FromLeedsToWest]

Thank you 🙏

[@knelson5442]

Great job!! You have an amazing drive and the outcome is so Impressive. Ps. I’d watch a man Hoover any day of the week…and a whole house! I wouldn’t miss it.

[@FromLeedsToWest]

😂 thanks

[@CatherineH.-gf7mm]

You can have the spindles dipped as with doors or shutters...back to the bare wood :)

[@FromLeedsToWest]

I think I will end up doing this. Done a tester on one spindle and the outcome is very poor. Might have to invest in a dip.

[@anneberrington2294]

Use your wheelie bin fill with hot water 12 bags of soda crystals submerge your wood work i used this on my house even the hand rails draped a towel over them a super saver tip lol hope it helps you. May take a few days but can save ypu £s

[@Erin_Wilson_Studios]

Such a bummer that the channels for wiring were done so poorly. Especially since you waited so long to get that work done 🙈 But the upstairs hallway looks stellar! So smart to take on time-consuming projects now when cash is low.

[@Erin_Wilson_Studios]

And congrats on getting monetized 🎉🎉🎉

[@FromLeedsToWest]

It does look so much better. Very pleased with it. Thanks for your continued support.

Shame you’ve just missed this years, but the painting & decorating she at the Ricoh arena is amazing, just apply for tickets if you’re self employed\ trade, lots of free samples and brewers have a goodie bag with lots of freebies ( including paint!) also Tikkurila paint are amazing can colour match to f&b and a lot cheaper

[@Jules_Pew]

My brother set up a little power contraption on the dining table where he wired up the hall & landing switches to so he could test out how he thought it worked. Hopefully, when he finishes plastering all the holes he's made tomorrow, it'll work in real life. I now have tons of mist coating to do. At least most of my walls are stud so little chasing, but it's important to know where the wires are going for hanging paintings etc - not like my house where they shoved them where ever like down the side of the door so changing architrave could be lethal. House is looking good. It's always amazing what a difference a coat of paint makes. Well done on the subscribers.

[@jackieduncan4660]

A lick of white paint makes a big difference and look clean fantastic job 👍

[@FromLeedsToWest]

That’s not a bad idea. Actually physically testing it out to get your head around it is a great idea. Should have done that myself. With the wiring any chasing should only be vertical or horizontal from any switch or plug. A good rule of thumb when coming to putting up pictures. Luckily for me I know where everything is now.

[@geraldinecarney7255]

Hello from Prince Edward Island in Canada! i am loving your videos. the house is gorgeous!! Yep nothing like a coat of paint I'll be doing the same real soon!

[@FromLeedsToWest]

Thank you. Glad you like them. Happy painting. Dave

[@jenniferwilliamson309]

I would have watched you hoovering your whole house 😅

[@FromLeedsToWest]

😂

[@LookingForLloyd]

Could you use a heat gun on the bannisters to get the paint off?

[@marywineland5710]

Do you have lead encapsulating paint where you are? That may be an option to replacing the staircase.

[@FromLeedsToWest]

I think so. Only issue is there are so many layers of paint. Most seem to be emulsion in all weird colours. If I can get them off and get the woodwork flat again. Maybe I could try that.

[@CatherineH.-gf7mm]

Please don't cover the sky light :0

[@FromLeedsToWest]

I wouldn’t dare. One of my favourite features.

[@WriterGeek]

It's hard doing up a house with no money - been there! The wood on the skirting etc will be better quality than any wood you can get now. Always worth renovating than buying new (and wood is really expensive now).

[@FromLeedsToWest]

I thought it would be cheaper to strip the paint off. It’s actually more expensive and takes so much more time also. I will always keep what I can

[@kevinwilson2166]

I’ve just discovered your channel and it is quite enjoyable but I’ve watched 3 episodes so far and one thing I’ve noticed is the number of times you mention that you have no money. I’m beginning to wonder if you have an alternative reason for doing so?

[@FromLeedsToWest]

Glad you enjoy the videos. Just trying to keep it real. Not in a position I thought I would be in when I started this journey. It’s on my mind, all of the time, at the moment.
