Plastering!

Plastering has started to happen in force now and things are starting to feel like they are turning a corner... No longer does it feel like we are destroying the place, but rooms are starting to actually feel like rooms!
The teacher's bedroom:


The kitchen -

where we really love the wavy edge near the re-located bread oven:

 

The living room during the four stage process -

1. the sand and cement waterproofing layer:


2. febtank for top coat waterproofing:


3. base coat plaster layer


4. top coat plaster:


Looks completely fit for purpose now and will look great when we get the woodburner installed...

We were really impressed by the finish of the febtank layer. This is the first time we have seen this product on a stone wall - we really like it! It is possible to paint straight on top of this, so we are going to look at using this in a few other spaces that we were wanting to expose the stone but were concerned about the effect this would have on damp. With this you can essentially create an 'exposed stone effect' with the added effect of waterproofing it at the same time - bonus!
