Progress

We have been cracking on with the new bedroom and en-suite bathroom this year.

In the winter, Robert installed all the pipework, so we were then able to start insulating the walls, chip boarding and then plaster boarding them.

It was a bit tricky, fitting everything round the pipework, as we tried to get as close as possible to the pipes, for a better finish.

Tina then varnished all of the beams, before I started jointing the walls, as this made it easier to get all of the spilt plaster of of the wood.

We decided to skim the walls, rather than dry lining them, as it took ages to do the joints in the living room, and when the sun hits the wall from a certain angle, you can see all of the joints perfectly.

The french plaster has taken a bit of getting used to, and I will try a different brand for the bedroom, as recommended by Robert, but as I had already bought the cheap stuff from BricoDepot, I am going to uses it up, rather than bin it ( tight/echo warrior ) .

The window has been plastered, and a concrete sill has put in. and Tina has now undercoated the hole room, and painted the ceiling as well.

The paint for the walls arrives next week, and when that is done, we will be ready to start fitting the floor.
