First thing that I did do was to crawl out of my stinking pit, and at the unbelievable time of 09:20 too. I heard all of the alarms go off (it&#8217;s very hard not to) and I remember thinking that I&#8217;ll get up in a minute. And so almost two hours later &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to the plot. I ripped off all of the tongue-and-grooving that I did yesterday. It wasn&#8217;t going on correctly and I was certain that I could do better. And while I was having my breakfast I also had some inspiration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1402\/1402007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1402\/1402007.jpg\" alt=\"head of stairs plsterboarding tongue and grooving les guis virlet puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>So I had to recut every single piece and refit it, but I am glad that I did because the effect is so much better as you can see in the photo.<\/p>\n<p>All that it needs now id to be varnished, the light to be fitted properly and for a couple of bits of beading to be added, but that will have to wait as there is still plenty to do before I reach that stage. In fact I&#8217;ve already mad a start in sheathing in the window. And it&#8217;s a good job that I don&#8217;t throw anything away, because I needed a few thin strips of wood to make a batten and here, hanging around in the house were the offcuts of the 10mm playwood sheeting that we used on the roof back in 2009.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1402\/1402008.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lesguis.com\/images\/1402\/1402008.jpg\" alt=\"shelving tonge and grroving head of stairs les guis virlet puy de dome france\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\"\/><\/a>Here&#8217;s a somewhat gloomy view of the reverse angle, showing the sloping part of the ceiling and one of the two shelves that I&#8217;ve fitted. There&#8217;s a bare wooden beam that&#8217;s exposed there at the back, and I&#8217;ll be repainting that in due course.<\/p>\n<p>I solved the problem of cutting the tongue-and grooving down the length.
