Hi all,
I hope someone can offer some advice.
Last weekend my wife decided we have put of the inevitable for long enough and so I started decorating our hall, stairway and landing.
I dutifully started stripping the wallpaper, lining paper and old dado rail from the walls only to find it was the paper holding the walls together. This carried on for a while until I decided it would be easier just to dryline the walls. This I have now completed and made good the joins ready for sealing.
The problem I now have is that the old skirting boards are now slightly recessed and look aweful. I want to now put new skirting over the old. This itself does not pose too many problems until I come to the staircase.
Can someone tell me, is it just (he says!) a case of working out the angles for the horizontal skirting meeting the board running up the stairs and then just cutting out for the treads?
Any help / advice on this greatly received.
Thanks again!
