Cedric Earns His Keep

Hello there, Cedric here, the other bears said they thought I was a little lazy, as I've been enjoying relaxing on their sofa whilst watching the widescreen TV. They suggested that as I was only a squatter here I needed to earn my keep.




Apparently the bedroom needed a makeover, so I borrowed some work overalls and started on the coving.




It was hard work climbing up and down the ladder, it's not our real ladder - it's our step ladder!!!




Gluing the coving made my poor paws ache. I had to stay like this for ages to ensure a good 'stick'.




Next, the bears said the walls really needed brightening up. Wilbear had decorated in brown to complement the bears' fur when they moved into the House of Bears, but it was too dark a colour for a north facing room. They chose a soft creamy colour paint instead, showed me where the roller was, and left me to get on with it.




Not content with those two strenuous jobs, Horace suggested the old light switch needed to be replaced.




Goodness, I'll have muscles like Superted soon.




To finish the room off, I had to drill holes for shelf brackets.




The bears didn't posses a spirit level...but being an innovative bear I found my own way to check that the shelves were straight - lie on the shelves, if you don't roll off, it's straight. See, it works!




As for the finished result - the desk area




The bears relaxing in their newly brightened room




And another rather cute shot of us




Our entertainment area.




I think I've earned my keep now. I wonder if the bears will consider letting me stay permanently, I am a rather handy bear to have around, after all.
With love from the bears.
