I had a bengal cat once that looked just like this beauty.

Absolutely right for sure. No worries I didn’t think you were being so. You are right and it’s good advice.

That I’m aware of: all such precautions help reduce the likelihood of mould. But the cold external wall is a big issue.

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but we never found out. Still listen back, nonetheless!

The temperature is rising I know, but this is still worth mentioning. Many are unaware of this thermal lining paper. It’s extremely effective at insulating walls that are external. (Window bays etc). It helps with the reduction of mould in such areas. I’ve used it in my own home too.

This is ideal for you.

I’m always keen to know how old β€˜Keith’ is.

This woodwork took some time to get right. Padding down with high grade paper is the πŸ”‘ to this finish.

Enjoyed this one. Colours used: β€˜Feather Down’ on the walls & β€˜Cloud White’ on the woodwork.

He was in the queue in front of me for a sea plane in the Maldives back in 2019.

More glossing over in a week than I’ve managed to do in the last ten years.

There is a particular process to finishing MDF. You can’t just paint it and job done. High grade sanding between coats with meticulous inspection is required to be able to achieve a high quality finish.

Original spindle repair from 1903. This section had previously been filled using regular wood filler that had failed. Here I’m recreating the profile using resin.
