my Mistress and i been thinking about your problem, but first i want to let you know that you are very luckie to have a basement, we have a brick shed but its quite a distant from our flat, and the neighbour hood round here is some what dangerouse for young ladys to be out on there own so it can only be a dream ahhhhhhhh, dreams a great place to go oh never mind all that, you would like to know why I/we are here.

Are you good with your hands - no i certaintly don't mean 'that' in this instance, do you have a set of tools - "oh please" I mean hand tools like a hammer, saw, screw dirver, etc etc etc. well if you do then how about getting some:

1) a sheet of mdf or thick ply wood
2) two lenghts of two by two
3) some wall scews and wall plugs
4) wall filler and the correct paint (this is so that when you move you can fill up the holes when you leave, your landlord will not notice the differance. "cunning hey"

fit the battens (no2) to the wall add your ply wood and there you have it a wall surface that you can decorate to your hearts content. this is known in this country as "dry lining" I also have one or two ideas that you could also do as a punishment or pleasure pain what ever you wish to call it but lets see what you think of this one first. Happy building
