Stayed in all day waiting for
to get around to delivering. No show.Got loads done on the top floor so not a dead loss day.Oh how shocked I was to wake up today and find our bedroom looking like this. Yes, yes, we all know it looked like this at the end of yesterday; see photo below, but, somehow, I hoped the mess was all a dream. SUCKER!!! Now I've bobbed to the surface, dreamtime's been swept swiftly from my grasp, I reckon the room looks OK in this piccy,
The window at the other end of the room also needs a lintel. That part of the room will be a landing when the house is finished and will benefit from some rustic charm/character. I'm using an old oak fence post for the lintel. Again there is no structural purpose in using this lintel, it's purely pretty.
I had to rest the 'legs' of the battens on the garden fence as I worked to attach the lintel.I braced the legs It was outstandingly unwieldy to lug up the 2 flights of winding stairs to the loft. Pretty knackering. Looks really good now it's up. All I can say is, use new drill bits to work on well seasoned oak; metaphor for life?
Now it's up I can begin to envision the room plastered. The room plastered that is, though .....hmmm.... laters!!
