    I think you could definitely get away with not having the wee bits painted. I don’t think you’d see much difference if you did.

    Well done for standing up to neighbour. 

    And agree you could get away with not having the smaller bits painted 
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Mr M is always so regal.

    I agree you could get away without painting the little bits.
