Spare Room Progress

Last weekend dominated by plastering, sanding the walls and base coat followed by top coat of plaster. Fortunately not too much to do, some where the architrave and skirting was removed, a big hole where the old radiator used to be and also the channels I cut for the new electric sockets.

Liv did more wood work sanding and knotting and priming of the architrave, and mis-coated the ceiling with PVA/emulsion mix. Sunday was on hold as the plaster was far from dry.

This weekend spent a good hour sweeping the chimney, really back breaking work, and then sanding the walls down and using fine surface filler to fill as many cracks and dinks as we could find.

Bought the extra skirting board we needed from Jewsons (not quiet the same pattern as the existing stuff unfortunately), and fitted the two hardest pieces behind the radiator.
