Rendering round the windows

The plasterer left a bit of a mess round the windows in the bedroom. It was difficult for us to prepare for him properly, as we didn't really know what to expect and therefore what we needed to have done beforehand. Round the windows we had insulated a bit and that didn't work very well with his rendering and plastering.

This is round the door on to the balcony
In progress (I cleaned up the mess that was there, then made a base with ordinary filler and then put in the lime render on top)

We have had to patch various bits of the plaster where plugs have gone in, where the wall hasn't been straight enough to meet the ceiling etc. It is difficult to get a colour match between batches as it is just sand and lime mixed with water. You can see some little white dots in here where the lime is getting old and going in to lumps.
