Time for some bonding!

The bedroom was starting to look like Jericho, I kept looking out of the window couldn't see an Israelite in sight. 


PVA time, a 5:1 mixture painted all around the damaged areas would hopefully stop the dust and make a good base for the bonding.


The damage above the window was pretty bad and removing more of the woodchip made it worse, a lot worse.


Out comes the trusty trowel and things already look better.


More bonding above the window and round the ceiling where the new plasterboard doesn't quite fill the gap left from the old lathe and plaster.

Into weekend five and finally time to start decorating the room, hopefully we'll be done before Christmas otherwise Santa won't know where to leave my prezzies!  Ceilings had the first coat and already the rooms looking better.  We opted for Egyptian cotton, slightly off white.  Looks like it will need two coats but the rooms starting to take shape. We decided while we were at it the oversized radiator needed to go, another trip to Toolstation beckoned. Radiator off and finally all the woodchips gone. Woodwork glossed and time to paper the walls, the paper is 1400 thickness and feels like cardboard, hopefully it will cover the imperfections in the old walls. Nearly the end of Sunday and some good progress made, Jane wants a beer now so time to down tools and tidy up!
