REFURBISHMENT

The lads are cladding the walls of the shed with artificial brick panels, and I have to say it's looking very good!

I might have a word and ask them whether they'd do one of the walls in the living room the same… but I don't suppose I could afford their rates.


I must say that the Museum has been completely transformed, both inside and out – although it's not very big, the new wall finish and colour make it look much more spacious and airy.


If only I knew what they were going to use it for – I hope it's not a Drinking Club or some kind of Clip Joint!

RELOCATION

The boys have now packed all the exhibits from the Wilson Vermilingua Museum of Old Stuff and a Robot into cardboard boxes –  and moved them into the dining room.

It puts me in mind of the time Wilson started his own Self Storage business, when every room in the house was crammed with boxes of strangers' stuff – I didn't enjoy that, but at least Wilson was getting paid for it.


In other news, Wilson is still waiting for his first BorisBoard®™ order to pour in. 


He's putting a brave face on it, but I think he's starting to accept that it's not going to make him rich…

WORK BEGINS

The boys are busy re-painting the Wilson Vermilingua Museum of Old Stuff and a Robot – although I don't yet know why.

The chosen colour – White With A Hint of Curiosity – looks very clean and fresh, and it does make the shed look very bright –  eye-catching, even… and I don't mean that in a wholeheartedly good way.


Still, both the lads are full of enthusiasm, and Wilson says that once the paint on the outside is dry they can start on completely refurbishing the interior.

A TRIP TO THE DIY STORE

I've driven Wilson and Byron round to Green's DIY in the village to buy some white paint. 

Exterior paint seems very expensive – but as long as whatever Wilson has planned to do with it distracts him from his fear of being deported, I really don't mind.


Of more concern is the time it's taking to choose the right shade of paint – I'd like five minutes alone with the marketing guy who came up with the 'White With A Hint Of…' concept!


Anyway, they have finally decided on a colour which describes itself as 'White With A Hint Of Curiosity' so now it remains only to pay, drive home and learn where it is to be applied…
