No stairs

Warm day today so it was warm in the house. I intended to paint the ceiling in the bedroom upstairs and then move downstairs but I did not realise that I had little paint left!!So I ended up cutting in the ceiling and then I decided I was going to clean out the gap between the tills and hoover it.Fergal the chippie came to look at doing the stairs but in the end decided not to do it, fair enough but I had a major headache to try and get someone.
