We have started to put the plasterboards up in the kitchen.  All the walls are dri lined (plasterboards are stuck to the walls using dri wall adhesive and then plastered) and insulated plasterboards are put on the ceiling.  In the extension, there is 100mm of insulation between the rafters and then plasterboard with an additional 25mm of insulation.

With the boards on the walls and ceiling, this space starts to feel a lot lighter as well as the oak becoming more prominent.

We need to get the kitchen plastered and decorated before the kitchen is installed next month.  There is a lot to do still.

This is the balcony and the doorway into the ktichen from the hall. It is now all boarded ready to be plastered. We have put some plastic over the oak on the balcony to avoid getting any plaster on it.

With any luck the ktichen should be completely plastered by the end of the week. However, the boards have already transformed this space and the oak beams stand out even more than before.

The oak beams in the kitchen really stand out now that the ceiling has been board. With a bit of luck, this should all be plastered by the end of the week.
