Just like a Wild West cowboy with a fast and lethal trigger finger, in the world of Moregeous, my caulking finger is a skilled, faithful and unsurpassed weapon in my armoury of decorating. Well, it was until Granuloma Annulare attacked, hence the lumpy bumpy never-make-it-to-a-hand-cream-commercial digit you see in the pictures. But it still has... Continue Reading →
Bloody drawers for Project Deano don’t match!!
It was a bit of a hopeful flyer but I was convinced they'd match, the Tuscan Olive worktop and the Ikea Solar drawer fronts.... I've run all over Manchester chasing useless Parcelforce for them....waited six weeks..... and they look rubbish. Buggar buggar buggar. Back to Ikea for steel ones. And I think the lawn could...

A new approach to beeping smoke alarms?
All the flats are full now, thank goodness, so it's a little less pressure on me and on finances. It's been such a topsy turvy start to the year, with tenants in and out and all making huge life changes, but it seems to have settled down a bit in the last few weeks. It... Continue Reading →
Choosing period taps for the Liner Luxe bathroom
I am going slowly mad looking at deck mounted traditional bath filler taps..... 🙂 They have to be perfect and just what the client wants, and quite right too, but they have an impact on everything, such as which basin taps are then bought, what style of bath, where to position the bath (ie if...
