More plaster board cutting for me this weekend while MeWally got stuck into the stair well.
THE SKELETON UNDER THE STAIRS
There's the chimney breast under there crumbling away. It's OK though, it's flued. We've decided to keep it and point it with lime mortar and then limewash it. There is an option of demolishing it as there's nothing structural to cause problems.

It's a lovely curved shape and will look fantastic as feature on the new landing - rustic.
Meanwhile I did more insulating in the loft.
You can see the battening holding in the wadding. If the wadding covers the battening, the plaster board wont sit flat, so a little time has to be spent getting it right. What with that and the carving the plaster board for the sloping soffits, it takes ages to do each little bit. Added to that, we don't start 'til lunch time and have to finish by 2pm (noise wise), so we get about 4 hours work done over a weekend.
The small space over the lintel didn't have enough battening, so I glued 3 layers of polystyrene (polystyrene is semi permeable) into the space and packed out any small gaps with wadding. I then stuck plasterboard on top.
Still less than half the room completed.
