I fitted the extractor yesterday and sue has been painting….

Let there be light……..I spent the last couple of days fitting the spotlights and the sockets.

Only 2 walls remain so should be finished in one evening……next Monday or Tuesday…..

Eventually we want timbers in the ceiling but for now we will put a length of coving to cover the gap at the top.

Nice to see the doorway without gaps and expandy foam……

We didn’t use slabs on the internal walls so it was rendered prior to plastering

Two of the Kitchen walls are plastered…

Just one small piece of the plasterboard left to do in the dining room so decided to finish it today.

Our swallows are about to leave on their travels I think. Quite cute to see them all sat in a line trying to pluck up the courage to fly…

Dennis came this evening to plaster the ceiling. He thought there was a problem as the plasterboard was sucking a lot of water from the plaster but it turned out ok. I think part of the problem is that all the cooking and tumble drying we have been doing in that room has been absorbed by the slabs so they were damp in places. Hopefully should be ok elsewhere…
