Last weekend work started on the plastering in the house. It started of as one of the hugest nightmares in the history of the world, ever. We had to move all the furniture that we’re storing there out into the garden/driveway. Jesus. Lugging sofas downstairs is NOT fun. SO anyway, we ended up with two double beds, a sofa and a bunch of bookcases stuck out on the drive way and back lawn for most of the day, and then started trying to store it in the garage, the greenhouse… hell, anywhere!

Gah! anyway, the plasterers got a bunch of work done in their first day, and on Tuesday they completely finished! And, wow, it’s like a completely different house. The kitchen has a whole new ceiling, and the wall where the old electricity meter was (that’s been moved outside now!) is super flat :D:D Can’t wait to start putting the kitchen in over the bank holiday weekend!

The hallway and stairs have been plastered too, and if you’ve never touched freshly dried plaster then add it to your ‘must touch’ list because it’s the smoothest thing known to man. Honestly, plastering must be a most satisfying job in the world… making something so FLAT!

Strange things exist in our garden at the moment, including old boilers, rubble and dead birds on pieces of glass. This was found in the greenhouse, on a glass shelf. Must have been there quite a while.

Big update later this week with photos of all the work we got done over the bank holiday weekend. We actually started painting walls :D! No kitchen building, yet, though.
