Fix that 'user posted image' please, I want to see.
Come on Gaz, you can't give up now. A 'man' would probably just charge you as much for getting the rest of it off than he would have in the first place, making your effort thus far worthless. C'mon! This is the easy stuff, stripping and painting is a piece of piss.
I boarded my entire loft a few months after moving in and that was an enormous bastard pain in the arse. I had to scoop out 50 years and dust and old, shite insultation before replacing it with new stuff and boarding over it, one giant floorboard at a time. It was about 6 weeks of part-time graft and the sheer level of dust and shite meant we had black, streaming eyes and spent a while sneezing and coughing up black stuff. But, the whole effort cost me about £100 for the boards, and the use of the loft is invaluable. A 'man' would have charged me £250 on top of the cost of the boards to sort it out. DIY for the win!
I've been meticulously cutting some tiles tonight to go around a sink, and that's also a pain in the arse, but a man would probably charge me £100 just for doing that. It's just a shame I can't plumb or do electrics - licence to print money, it is.
