Building it up

A mere two weeks into our project and the re-build has started. It is phenomenally satisfying to once again see the rooms taking shape.

Starting a new task when refurbishing is always interesting. However with every piece of plaster breaking beneath our furious wall paper strippers, it becomes blatantly obvious that the task of re-plastering the walls is going to be insanely time consuming. The brilliant idea of replacing the panels of varying sizes, with one size throughout, revealed sizeable holes underneath, but after a crash course from the mason, I feel confident that it can be handled – add it to the work list!

All hardship and frustration disappeared as they opened up the walls to the kitchen. When considering the layout, several people asked why we wanted to go through all the work required to make these small openings. We were so happy to see that those openings are going to make all the difference. Can’t wait to feel the rooms when the last remaining wall has been put up.
