Bedroom progress

I haven't mentioned it much in all the skiing, cooking and excitement of the new apartment, but work has been progressing - it just takes a really long time to do everything even from the point it looks pretty much done.

We have done:

• The skirting board (still to be painted)
• Made the stairs
• Fixed up round the windows
• Finished the woodwork around the built in wardrobe

We still have to:

• Install the lights
• Install the ceiling fan (bit fiddly as the beam is a bit narrower than the mount and clearly it needs to be very firmly attached...)
• Do the built in wardrobe innards
• Get, paint and install the sliding doors for the wardrobe (one company has disappeared since we chose them, fortunately not paid anything so now trying to sort it out with another company, but there website is shonky - they have just suggested it would be easiest if I send them a cheque!!)
• Paint the skirting board and window sills and wardrobe surrounds
• Clean up and paint the door - possibly also removing a little bit off the bottom of it

Doing the rooms in the extension has been a very good learning experience for how we will do things differently in the main house.

We won't have the hempcrete sprayed will be the main difference.
Instead we will do it behind shuttering. This will give a flatter, firmer, more even insulation layer on which to plaster. We will also do something differently with the finishing layer, perhaps not lime plaster, I am sure you will here more about this later.
It is a little bit of a shame as the lime plaster without paint does look very nice, but I am sure other finishes will to.
