All about the upstairs

A majority of this weekend was spent upstairs. Sean the plasterer must have sensed our desperation to get things moving more quickly and lent us his steamer (Yes, Lukas, I realise this makes him a good person and a good choice. I take back not wanting to hire him).

We have made great progress in the office and (today) in the little room. Unfortunately, that poor-choice-of-a-textured paint in the first bedroom doesn't even succumb to steam! Lukas has resorted to the desperate measure of taking off the first layer of plaster. You can hear me screaming in the background: 'No more! Don't take off any more plaster! Please! The dust!'

Tomorrow the gas central heating installation begins. It is officially cold and dark and thus I'm really looking forward to it!

The wall of nearly still perfect plaster, it was a beautiful thing to uncover

But the stupid paint has maintained its dominion over this wall

And to end on a happy note, we can watch cows from the comfort of our bedroom!
