The end bedroom upstairs is now fully boarded and we have started plastering. This is mainly around one of the windows so this will allow us to get a window finished and painted so that we can make sure we have chosen the correct colours. We will also put up the architrave and skirting boards, so that we can check these too.
For some reason, we have always used the window in this room as our “prototype”!
The rafters are hidden underneath the insulated plasterboard, but the roof trusses and purlins will remain exposed. The exposed timber has been waxed and it should be easy to get off any dust or plaster marks.
Cutting around beams with the insulated plasterboards was difficult, plastering around them is even more difficult. But they are doing a great job.
We are having to use small tower scaffolds internally to be able to reach the ceilings. This makes getting around in here difficult while the plasterers are at work.
We have always used this window as our prototype. As soon as the plasterers are finished in here, we will paint up this window and get the architrave added. We will also put up a strip of skirting board.
