More work in the games room
Big hole in the wall after knocking out all the loose plaster:
I filled the hole with bits of broken plaster board and cemented it in:
Now barely visible after more fine plastering:
The games room ceiling is covered in deep cracks due to legacy movement in the building:
I stuck reinforcing tape over the cracks to stop the plaster from cracking then covered it all in fine plaster:
After many hours of plastering and sanding the cornicing, walls and ceilings we are almost ready for paint.
Table tennis acquired to go in one of the larger cellars, we also have new electrics in there.
Workshop all repainted and moss all scraped off roof:
Storage room being redecorated:
Shelves removed and walls being sanded:
Walls replastered, repainted, and shelving brackets being painted:
We made all new shelving as it was wood worm infested:

Epic Hail storm!
Unrenovated room which will become the games room for guests to socialise in. Will have a pool table and music systems.
We will preserve the original cornicing and have updated the electrics.
Stripping off the original ancient wallpaper...
Angle grinding the various metal brackets that are cemented into the walls, making good use of motorcycle lid and gloves as the sparks were a bit warm :)
Cellar doors after refurb, see earlier post for the before picture.
Roof being repaired on the Workshop/barn as it has several leaks. The moss has all been scraped off as it was rotting the tiles and the broken tiles replaced with clear perspex to let in some daylight.
