OLYMPIC PLASTERING

While there is no medal to be won, July has been a month of Olympic effort to progress the house.   With the exception of the kitchen, every wall and ceiling has now been plastered.  Our plasterers, Dave and Rick were poached locally from a nearby construction site and have proved their weight in gold.  Over the course of a few evenings and a couple of weekends, they have left every surface that they’ve worked on flawless and levelled.   It really does make a difference with a 76 year old building giving it a total facelift.     

I’m immensely relieve this stage of the works are over. Plastering is extremely messy and I’m fed up with finding everything repeatedly coated in fine dust.  A big clean should hopefully take care of it.

Our next event will be running the roller ragged in an feat of painting everything.

Bathroom Door - prep work























The bathroom door was converted into a sliding door to save space as it will no longer open out in the hallway.  Above the door will be a narrow window with glass blocks inset.
