Progress

We've now done as much as we can in the cellar, until we can knock through, and we're not going to do that until the winters over!

So this week we are both working in the new living room. Tina is still repointing(scraping out), although the scaffolding is up a stage, which makes it very scary to get down from. ( It took half an hour the last time!)

We have also managed to get the first bits of plasterboard onto the ceiling. This is really tricky, as the joists are really old, and very few of them are straight, but at least we don't need the scaffold for it yet. That will come later.

It takes a lot of getting up and down the ladder, measuring cutting and measuring again to try and get them to fit, and then a bit of filling in the bits that you have over cut, but hopefully we will get the hang of it. That's two down, and another 34 to go for this room!
