Archeological discovery whilst Woody's wizardry makes wardrobe disappear!

Now that is a title and a half to a blog post! It has been a very hard day. Why does everything take twice as long as you plan? However, the wardrobe is dismantled and I kept Mrs. Woody updated of my wizardry with pictures of the progress so she did know I was doing things! Apart from the length of time it took, the job went remarkably damage, injury and swear jar contribution free.

The wizardry slowly happening...

Almost there....

As if by magic all gone....

Unfortunately what was behind the wardrobe was not the best in wall integrity. So, before painting a packet of wall filler was mixed and all of it used in making good cracks, missing plaster and various other issues. At least with the hot weather and almost sauna like conditions in the bedroom it should dry fairly quickly.

Well it has to be dry by tomorrow as this kit form wardrobe is being fitted on Wednesday by the 'Expert' who I explained in an earlier blog is not me according to Mrs. W! 

As to the archeology. Well it won't excite the historians but it is never the less  a slight insight into the builders of the house some 50 years ago almost to the month. I uncovered this pencil calculation on one of the floor boards - remember this was in the days before calculators although I have to admit the calculation is not exactly complex! It will be covered up again when the new wardrobe is fitted but it is recorded here for posterity or when Mrs. W decides on another new wardrobe! 

Now if only I could wizard the walls to paint themselves.....
