More progress, some finishing touches applied....

The plasters came today. They're going to spend 2 days here and the sitting room will be transformed. Not finished, but having the plaster on, and all the surfaces smooth and uniform will be a huge difference. That's been after about 4 days of hard graft by both of us. Me doing wiring, filling in after wiring, putting plasterboards up (having to cut each and every one of them too), wife doing wallpaper stripping. It's a swiz as it doesn't look better than the last post, even when the boards are up....



There's one other thing - I made the hearth, or at least the base for it. You can just about make that out on the far side of those saw horses. The chimney breast was a pain, with much messing about to get it not even all that even and level.



If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it.... a ring main that is. And some CAT5E too. These sockets will be hidden in a cabinet, and that one high up will be behind the TV.

Anyway, as I said, the plasterers came and have done a bit - you can see where I've covered the RSJ - this room was one knocked into two (not by us - in the dim and distant)


This one just shows the fireplace a bit better on the far side of the Heath Robinson scaffold the plasterers will use to do the ceiling.


In other news, the boy's room got a finishing touch - he's now got a Star Wars storm trooper threatening that soft toy chicken....


Should be more progress to report soon!
