What comes down, has to go back up!

All things being equal the plasterboard didn't fit the existing joists, what a result....not!


If you've never tried holding up plasterboard on your own whilst trying to screw it to the the joists I can thoroughly recommend it!


More problems!! While trying to remove the woodchip someone had lovingly put up numerous years ago, the walls kindly decided to come off with it, the simple job was now starting to take over our weekends.


Two weekends in and the boards are now up, that's the easy part, now it needs skimming.


And there's holes everywhere!!
