We had made some good progress plastering in the lounge over the last couple of days.  With any luck, we should be finished in the lounge by close of play tomorrow.  This is amazingly quick and the plasterers are doing a great job.

The new chimney breast is really taking shape and it is starting to look like something now!

The pink plasterboard is fireline board.  This is more resistant to heat than normal plasterboard and makes it ideal for using around a fireplace.

It is difficult to see with all the scaffolding in the way, but we have plastered about half of the fireplace.  The remaining bits of the lounge (including the ceiling) will be finished off tomorrow.
