We are expecting our first baby at the start of September. I am a teacher and will have 7 weeks off before the birth (this makes me very lucky, I know).
Our house is a a 3-floor Victorian job and we want the landings and stairs redecorated including painting currently bare spindles. The estimate we have had is huge because of the time the spindles will take. They will need the odd bit of filler, a sand, a coat of primer then 2 top coats. There are 80 spindles.
Would I be mad to do it over the summer? I could obviously take it slowly and do each stage gently. They are all pretty accessible, there wouldn't be any balancing and anything tricky I could leave to my DH for a weekend.
Good way of using the time or stupid and I will be bringing the baby home to a half down hallway?!
