Plastered!!!

I've got a horrible feeling that anyone of you who reads this blog must be feeling like they have personally built this workshop, such is the amount that I have gone on and on about it.

Yesterday we got plastered with the help of Helen and Richard, a couple of friends who are looking at moving over here, who foolishly offered to help with plastering.



I think we got more on us and the floor than the walls, but with these two working like absolute trojans we got the whole place done in one day. The electrician is coming to connect the electrics tomorrow and then all that is left is to build a temporary door until Neil is in the workshop and can make the proper one, and fit it out - yay!!

This will leave the current workshop, our barn, empty and ready to be converted into our lounge. Neil and I have just had a lighting discussion upon which we had a minor disagreement.

Neil seems to think that it is not necessary to base the entire lighting plan around where I want the Christmas Tree to go. I think he'll find he's wrong. The debate goes on.........

  7. Oh it is sooooo important to get things right when planning a room, especially things like where to put the christmas tree for instance! I am with you totally on that. By the way, swopped our camper van for an Ifor horsebox yesterday. Not sure what we are going to do with the horsebox as too big for our purposes so parked up out back until an idea arrives for what to do with it! Love your workshop though. I bet you are glad at the progress you are making.
