All rendered out

At last, the bloody rendering in the main bedroom is all done. I hate doing it, up and down ladders all day, cracking my head on the beams 'cos i forget that they are in the way. It's an age thing, like going upstairs and forgetting why! The next stage is to fill all the gaps in between the plasterboarding and the beams so yet more balancing on planks placed across beams. Should have joined a circus as a tightrope walker or maybe a clown would have been more appropiate!
Still at least now the room is virtually draught proof and a lot warmer than it was last year when there were more holes in the wall than an expensive pair of fine lace knickers!!
This will be one of the guest rooms so it has to be done by christmas as guests are coming for a goose and glitter christmas.....sooo off i go back to work. The new chestnut flooring is due mid november for the floor so best i am ready also the marble top for the bathroom arrives at the end of this month..so much to do and so little time.
Wouldn't be anywhere else though!

    Sounds a bit like my house, I took the wattle and dawb (made of mud, horse hair and the odd bit of muff?) off the wall and found a secret cupboard with a note dated from two builders saying it was written on the day Ghandi died. I could see a glimmer of light coming from a crack in the wall and as I looked closer an eye appeared that was attached to a hideous face! After the shock I realized that there was a smashed piece of mirror stuck in the cupboard!
