The Living Room jobs list

Hello there.
Please ignore me, I'm just popping in to post my Living Room To-do List as its own entry because:

1. It's the only list I've got to work from
2. Although I've published it before it's buried at the bottom of another post and I keep forgetting where to find it
3. I can't keep using "I can't find my list" as an excuse not to do anything

So here it is. I'll keep updating it as I finish things off and, rest assured, I'll let you know when anything interesting happens...

Note: The jobs on this list are unofficially sponsored by BBC Radio 5's Kermode and Mayo's Film Review podcasts which, at a rate of around three or four per day, I appear to be mainlining.

The Living Room chimney breast has been the focus of attention for the last two or three weeks.
Scraping out the old, crumbly lime pointing by hand is easily as soul-destroying as having
to scrape Artex from the ceiling

...and compared to scraping the pointing, using a half-inch paint brush to coat each individual brick face
with neat brick acid in order to clean them up is a doddle
