Who bloody ray! The last of the major work is completed.. There remains decoration and the big clean up.

 

The last of the major work is the lime plastering:

Lime paster is a labourious job, but it looks a lot better than the gyprock stuff. Almost don't want to paint it. Thie above is the ground floor hall wall (the original is up a few posts ago somewhere. The next photo is the upstairs hall wall. Both look great. The original walls were water damaged over the years. They reckon lime plastered walls last 150 years:

 

 

All the windows are in. Here is the before and after of the bay, and then that crappy platic kitched door is replaced, plus there are a couple of the windows to show. Not sure I want to show all of the windows..

     

 

 

 

Right.. Have to move a lot of stuff and get started on the decorating.
 

 

Speak later

Hey!

 

Either you bin sneaking into a neighbour's place to take pics, or you have got A.I. to make some nice pics for you.

 

That doesn't look like your place (as I remember it).

The two walls in the above shot are here:

 

 

 

Of course those before shots were after the damaged paster was removed:

Good save.

Now I believe you.

Dang it.. We had an estimate for fitting the windows, but they stressed it can change depending on the condition of the building, etc. that they couldn't see.. It went up almost twice as much!

 

Now, when people ask me how much this has cost, I talk in how much of a good TB20 I could have purchased instead.
