even though the weather was amazing again today, we spent nearly the entire day cleaning and painting again. here you see part of the ceiling... my goodness, all the walls and especially the ceiling were rather black. bleeeeehhh. at first we werent sure about cleaning the entire ceiling as its quite a lot of work and in an uncomfortable position, but while painting the walls nicely white the ceiling looked of course more and more black. and so tim (pfew... i couldnt have done it), cleaned the entire ceiling! look what a difference!! (and what an awful ceiling anyways. yuck, who has such a ceiling... ? :D ).
as in many old houses in amsterdam, there is no central heating here. the living room is heated by a gas heater. i guess coming winter we have to choose whether we want to be warm or clean the ceiling again.... ;)
all the walls in the living room are now done. the floor however is a terrible mess..... since tim did the ceiling, i probably should do the floor.....

The time to do it is now. If you wait, you will get used to it. After doing the walls and the ceiling, why leave the floor? Go!
You are really go-getters to get the work ready with this beautiful weather outside. But it looks much better I must admit. You get good advise of Jack!
I hope the ceiling isn't that dirty from one winter of heat.
You are putting in so much hard work to make your new place as you want it. Jack has some good advice, too. What kind of heat system creates all that discoloration?
