+## Hallway
+
+The hallway has been our major project this year. From our front door all the way to the top of the house, the walls have been covered in off-white woodchip wallpaper. Sound familiar, anyone?
+
+When we were dealing with the off-white woodchip in our Harrow flat, we found one wall was very stuck on. It was so frustrating to remove that we ended up leaving it in a half-removed glue-y state for almost a year before caving and getting plasterers to skim it.
+
+This time we were determined that we would not want it left in an awful state for any extended period, so we got Simon and Will back again to do it for us. The hallway is the most used part of the house and we wanted any inconveniences to happen quickly and then be gone. Plus, it's an enormous surface area to decorate with high ceilings over stairs, and they could work on it full time.
+
+
+### Removal of the wallpaper and carpet
+
+For the first week, we had Will only as Simon was on holiday in Sicily. We suspect this was deliberate so he could get out of steaming wallpaper. However, this was the same week as the Europe heatwave where the temps were getting into the 40s and the airport Simon wanted to leave out of burned down. He really really really wanted to avoid the woodchip.
+
+As the woodchip started disappearing up the house, we heard a big 'SHIT' from the hallway - with so much steam and dripping water, Will managed to get water into our bathroom thermostat controller, which then caught on fire. Luckily the worst was that the thermostat was fried and nothing more than that - but it was a nice opportunity to ask them to replace it with a white one which then would match better with the hallway.
+
+We were pleasantly surprised with just how quickly the woodchip went, but what was left was dark and dingy and not in a good way (like our lower hallway).
+
+
+
+### Making it pretty
+
+Next the walls and stairs started getting their base coats of paint. The sudden brightness made us very sure we wanted it light and airy.
+
+One of the issues we wanted sorted was a particular step on the top flight, which appeared to have pulled away from the wall and had far too much flex in it. It also corresponded to a large crack in the plaster and the wood all the way around the stairs. Simon cut a hole in the plaster to have a better look at what was going on. We found out the stair was actually very firmly attached to the wall, but the issue seemed to be that it wasn't very firmly attached to the other steps next to it and so was flexing at a different rate. He put a load of beefy screws in to make sure the steps flexed together and we're much more confident they won't all fall down.
+
+We spent a while searching for some lights we liked, we eventually settled for lantern style pendants. We found some but they had chrome where we would rather have them black. We picked up some black spray paint and got to work. We weren't sure it would work very well but it turned out fine. Most people aren't going to be looking too closely anyway.
+
+Prettier radiators. Plumber man recommended by Simon so we will probably try to use them in future rather than our nightmare boiler people.
+
+### Carpet
+
+We went with the same people to do the carpet as with the lower hallway. Bit of a mixup with the whipping.

+## Shoe storage
+
+Last time, we said that:
+
+<Quote person="Nikki and Ozzy" date="Dec 2022">
+    We are on the lookout for a nice bench with storage.
+</Quote>
+
+Well, we are delighted to announce we actually did order one. It was made to order, so it took several months to arrive. One of the reasons we went with this company was that they could use the exact same shade of paint as our walls.
+
+<Solocard title="Shoe bench!" />
+
+Woohoo bench. Very useful to sit on to put shoes on. It has a little basket with spare slippers that guests can use.
+
+Ozzy still picks his shoes up and goes upstairs to put his shoes on. Habits are hard to break.
