Ystafell Fyw – Y Canlyniad / Living Room – The Result
Wedi blino nawr …
Tired now…
Un peth arall i wneud – y blinds:
One more thing to do the blinds:
Mae wedi gwneud lot o wahaniaeth i’r ystafell – llawer iawn goleuach yn yr ystafell nawr.
It’s made a lot of difference to the room – it’s much brighter in the room now
Dyna’r oll am nawr!
That’s all for now!
Ystafell Fyw – Y peintio / Living room – the painting
Wnathon ni ddechrau drwy beintio o gwmpas y lle tân yn biws (wel Grape ydi’r enw swyddogol i’r paent yn ol Wilkinsons)
We started by painting around the fire place purple (or Grape as Wilkinsons officially call this paint)
Wnaeth o gymeryd cwpwl o gotiau ychwanegol cyn iddo fo ddechrau edrych yn dda
It took a few coats before it really started to look good
Ar ol y lle tân wnaethon ni symud ymlaen i baentio gweddil y waliau gyda lliw “Cream White” gan Crown
After the fireplace we moved on to painting the rest of the walls in Crown Cream White
Beth i wneud am yr gwresogydd arian?
Dim ond un peth i wneud – trip i Gaerfyrddin i gael glos piws wedi ei gymysgu ar ein gyfer gan y dyn yn B&Q
What to do about the silver radiator?
Only 1 thing to do – quick trip to Carmarthen to get a special purple gloss mixed for us by the guy at B&Q
Wnaethon ni hefyd rhoi gloss gwyn ar y sgerting boards, y dado rail, silff y ffenest a cefn y drws
We also put white gloss on the skirting boards, dado rail, window sill and the back of the door.
Ar ol hynna wnaethon ni symud ymlaen i wneud y nenfwd a’r coving. Mi oeddan ni wedi cael paen arnbennig i hyn – oedd o’n mynd ymlaen yn binc ac yna’n sychu i wyn – clyfar!.
After that we moved on to doing the ceiling and the coving. We had special paint for this – it went on pink and then dried white – very clever!
Mwy i ddilyn….

Pasg 2011
Easter 2011
Cafon ni bron pythefnos ffwrdd o gwaith dros y Pasg gyda gwyliau banc a gwyliau gwaith. Yn lle mwynhau’r haul yn yr ardd penderfynon ni dechrau ar y DIY! Ar ol 4 mis yn byw yma ac yn dod i nabod y ty di ni’n deall beth sydd angen neud a beth sydd yn ‘ok’ am nawr. Y peth gyntaf roedd yn gorfod mynd oedd y blydi dolphins!! Felly dechreuodd 8 diwrnod o waith caled…
We had nearly 2 weeks off over Easter what with bank holidays and annual leave. Instead of enjoying the sun in the garden we decided to begin on the DIY. After 4 months of living here we’d come to know the house a little and see what needed doing and what was ok for the time being. The first thing to go had to be the bloody dolphins!! And so 8 days of hard labour were to follow…
