Watching paint dry…?
Nov 19th
… we’d happily take watching paint dry over watching plaster dry out.
Paint never seem to take that long to dry to the point that you can move on and do something with the wall. Fresh plasterwork on the other hand seems to take forever to properly dry out!!!
Ah well… plenty more to be doing…
Decorating progress
Nov 19th
Now the plaster’s done, it’s time to crack on with the rest of the house.
The first couple of coats of paint have been applied to the main bedroom to seal & cover the newly dry plaster, and this weekend’s job is to start getting the proper top-coats of paint done along with all the woodwork, window sills, skirting, door frames etc.
We’ve also been getting on with fitting coving to the nearly completed bedroom 2, and are in the progress of lining up various quotes for flooring downstairs & removal of an unwanted wall!
Plasterwork finally done!
Nov 17th
Reached a bit of a milestone over the last weekend – all of the replastering we needed to do for the moment has now finally been completed.
The Lounge has now been finished, along with the hall, staircase walls and upstairs landing walls!
The biggest benefit of this work being finished is that it means we can start to actually decorate the rooms now – and hopefully the lounge can start to look slightly less like a building site, and more like a room.
As a quick reminder of why we need to do this, this photo was what the stair walls (and the hall / upstairs walls) used to look like….
They now look more like this… which even with bare plaster are a vast improvement over heavily ridged Artex!
