They didn't redo the wood, but they painted the walls, and then put the carpet down. It would have been so easy to do the skirting boards first, before there was carpet!

And with a fresh layer of varnish, it probably would have been easier to remove the paint splatters.

Oh well, I know I'll do a fair job, if only because I'm so anal :)

The rest of the house is very good, however.
