On Tuesday the work done involved further and completion of plastering in the back bedroom. Most walls were drying nicely so George did wall 4 and the ceiling - which is strenuous work and very hard work. I told George his skills were very much better than my efforts in the front attic - smoothing plaster until it looks like glass is something of a skill!
The other job on Tuesday was to inject the Lounge walls with the damp proof stuff. As this apparently takes two weeks to soak in the lads are not allowed to do any plastering work in there until the two weeks are up.
Finally, so that the plastering can be progressed in due course, Brian and co. took all the rest of the plaster off and the ceiling. We knew the original ceiling paper was decorative and thick - but it was amazing to compare it with the wall paper (modern) when they were both removed.
Now, we are waiting for next Monday - when the double glazed windows are due to arrive - so they can go in and the coving be put on - all in the back bedroom.
This room will then be ready for painting !!
Here are pics of the Lounge - before ...
and after so far ...
