Funny you should say that. It's a 2-bed flat and I will be looking to
rent the other room. Anyone who will do the entire paint job for 2
months rent will be my favoured candidate. The rent money is supposed
to go towards the mortgage, you see. :-P
And if it's a she, she can live there rent free. :-)
If I was going to do it myself, how much clearance around the shell
would I need?
