\"plasterboard<\/a>… slow as it might be. You can see in the pic that I’ve fitted 2 of the strips to the front wall, all with the castellations nicely cut out, and the joints all properly filled in. It took me hours, as you might expect, as I don’t really do finicky, as I said yesterday.<\/p>\n

I haven’t fitted the third strip as this depends on the 4500 x 100 plank that is to go as the false beam on the right-hand wall. I really need to go to the sawmill and sort that out, as well as picking up a pile of 40×27 laths.<\/p>\n

What the plan is for tomorrow is to make a start on the ceiling – cutting some tongue-and-grooving to fit between the beams. I won’t be able to do much as I don’t have any 20mm insulation sheets. I forgot to get some last weekend at Brico Depot, but whatever I do will at least give you an idea of how it’s all going to work. As I say, slow progress but it’s progress all the same and It’s looking a little more optimistic here. I might even have a bedroom for the summer!

That is, of course, if we ever get any summer. For the last 2 days it’s poured down with rain more-or-less non-stop and working outside for the last half-hour before I knock off (the days are lengthening) is getting me soaked to the skin. But at least you can see a little improvement at the outside of the house – the place is slowly starting to look a little tidier. And there’s more space in the lean-to since I’ve been burning the wood in there. All in all, I’m feeling a little more optimistic.<\/p>\n
