Lovely, finally finished, polished plaster... then yet again another drama..

Getting there...

Venetian 'Gressello' polished plaster walls finished in the dining area


Tidy...    

well, for a wee while!


Stainless steel bar


Bit of a night time shot



Bit of a disaster!   : ((((((



Another drama...


Leaking radiator pipe. Marv. Not.

Plastered again : /

Paul doing first skim of the decorative Venetian plaster finish
on top of the mesh layer

Excited and ever so slightly apprehensive from Marylebone ; )


It is a two man job for the final layers because it dries so quickly
and we don't want to see any join lines



Paul and Roman working quickly









Paul doing a bit of buffing!  Oooer missus



Vaulted shower room being prepped









Happy with that : )

Banished to the vault

Nearly there but needs a little darkening

Happy New Year! New start... and a rather big catch up from.. November!


Stone slabs arrive

Destined for the rear terraces  : )


'Blackjack' for waterproofing the concrete
Not quite finished in time : /















New stone slabs are rather lovely, even if I do say so myself!

Looking forward to a nice G&T out here in the summer  ; ) 








New sleek, flush stainless steel LED uplighters
.. for night time on the 'Jurassic' plant wall







Ooooh something else coming in though the windae,

that'll be...


Oor lovely new Matthew Hilton sofa!

Thankfully much more comfy than the £3.99 Ikea folding chair....
 for lengthy periods of TV watching... as demonstrated by the lovely Richard   : )
