Day 202 - Ding Dong...

One of the things we thought about rather late in the build was a doorbell!

Thankfully Shaun and the guys were able to find a way to run a cable from the front door and into the central hall without mucking up any of Frank's lovely plastering

 

Day 188 - Plastering Update

And Frank somehow made it in to continue with the plastering

Day 188 - Cupboard Plastering

The bedroom shoe cupboard has been plastered
 

And the ensuite

Day 170 - Frank's back

 
And he's made it downstairs - here he is finishing off the stairwell...


 
 
Here's the hall/lounge wall - look how smooth and shiny it is!

Day 170 - Bad Plaster

 
 

We knew we had a lot of dodgy plaster all over the house, so one of the areas we've chosen to spend extra money is replastering all the rooms. This is the state of the existing plaster.

 

Unfortunately the surface is so bad the new plaster isn't taking very well so the guys have had to use a special mesh to hold the new plaster onto the walls

Day 168 - Upstairs plastering is nearly done

Now Frank's started on the lounge, a deceptively large room he says...

Day 147 - More Frank

He's doing a grand job - the walls feel silky smooth
 
 


Insulation in the main bathroom
 

Day 97 - Sticky plaster?

We popped round to the property for a meeting with the electrician (think of a number of sockets and double it!)

The plaster has gone from the hallway and landing (as well as the carpet)






No, I don't know what the loo roll is there for either... probably best not to think about it too much!

as well as the wall between the boys room and bathroom (the plaster was so badly popped on this wall it was held on by the wallpaper!)




and between the boys room and my study (the wall that moved when Shaun pushed the door)


More of the old external wall from our bedroom has come down


And this big crack in the stairwell will have to be 'stitched' with some metal spines.
