Plastering

With the door frames fitted, the new lounge is now almost completely plastered, as is the entrance hall and the master bedroom storage cupboard. In bedroom 2 the wall where the old chimney used to be has been boarded and the ceiling is now boarded and plastered. In the en-suite, the wet room area has been concreted, ready for tiling and the furniture has all been checked out for position and fit.

Meanwhile, the glass for the new windows arrived but the wrong double glazing spacers have been fitted. The windows man was furious! He's fitted the picture window panes temporarily to make the lounge watertight but will have to replace them when the correct glass arrives next week.

I've ordered the LED lights (44 of them!) as we are getting close to 2nd fit on the electrics. In the next few days the other window frames should be fitted ready for glazing next week. Custom skirting boards and architraves to match the rest of the cottage are in production.
