The walls are quite wavey due to the way the hempcrete insulation was done, then on top of that the plasterer kind of flared the walls out towards the bottom. These things made fitting skirting board rather tricky. Doug had to use wedges as he screwed it to the wall to hold the top way from the wall so it was in line with the bottom (that was touching the wall at the bottom of the flare. We used reasonably thing MDF so it was flexible enough to follow the shape of the wall.
We then filled in behind the skirting board to hide the gap at the top.
Then mastic was applied to hide the join between this and the wall.
We are leaving the walls as unpainted lime plaster which is an attractive pale sand colour. However that has created quite a lot of extra work as we have had to be very careful not to get glue, filler or anything on the walls as it wouldn't be hidden later with paint.
The final thing to do is to paint it all.
