  • Radiator pipes.

    What are my options for skirting? I thought:

    1. Skirting up to the pipes, gaps for the pipes
    2. Box in the pipes individually
    3. Box in both/bring forward the skirting along the whole wall

    None of them sound that satisfactory. Any better ideas?

    1. Don't put skirting back in because skirting is the work of the devil.*

    *We've got a friend whose husband is a fairly well known architect. He absolutely hates skirting boards and in their big victorian house he got rid of them all. I'm thinking we might do the same with our next place as I've realised I'm not a fan either, especially as Victorian skirting seems to have been designed with a gap at the bottom to let mice in.

    Good call on the stain by the way! And I also like your curved coving.

  • What was the solution - just tidily plastered walls right down to the floor? Because I've never seen that and don't believe it exists.

  • Does their cleaner just hoover really carefully? Or do they have a Roomba?
