All plastered out

Thats it then. The plastering in this bedroom is finally finished and dry. All i have to do now is paint it after i have top coated the ceiling first then we are ready to get the chestnut flooring and get that put down. So, hopefully by easter (woodyard permitting) this 1st official guest room will be all but finished. I say all but as i still have to make the doors. Perhaps i should forget about them and just hang curtains across the doorways?
It was a beautiful day yesterday, last year we ordered some more fruit trees which arrived yesterday so we spent the afternoon planting them. Two plums, one each of peach, apricot and quince. Hopefully in three or four years time we shall see the fruits of our labours. We took afternoon tea and cake on the terrace in t-shirts as in the sun it was 29.3°c. wonderful!! I have no doubt it won't last as on friday it is the birthday of luscious and so far every year the sun has shone but the temperature is in the negative, we shall see!
Picture is the after of the one posted earlier, i hope that it looks a little different and that you can see that it has changed...or....perhaps i have just used trick photography....ha ha Off for lunch then out again to play at lumberjacks as i need to replenish the wood store...ta ra...... Posted by Picasa

    I have to hand it to you, AP, that's a pretty good plastering job.

    It is pretty good! Or have you photoshopped it? ;). Wish it was 29 degrees here :/.

    Why thank you , you kind people it gives me inspiration to carry on, all ready for the next bedroom to be done out in plaster. Ha ha Ally, i wouldn't know what to do with photoshop if you gave me a copy far to complicated for the likes of a mere peasant!!!
