April 29

We finally decided that doing the lounge first would cause an extensive delay to our ability to occupy the house so we have gone back to plan A and I am concentrating on finishing the plasterboard structure on the first floor. We plan to get it finished first, move in and take a break before tackling the enormity of the lounge walls and ceiling.

In between I have been lifting the floor protection downstairs and giving it a first wash. It will need one or two more to get the travertine clean and then it can be sealed to protect it for the future.
