Day ?

What day is it, day 5?

This morning we flung open the windows to let the spring air in, and filled the room with light. Our plan today was to get the ceiling and coving painted, and to start on filling the panels with painters caulk.

Yesterday we had managed to get the larger holes filled with plaster of Paris and then sanded down. We hadn’t used plaster of Paris before, but thought we’d give it a go, as the setting time was only 15 minutes. Now that does mean you need to work quickly with it, but the great thing is you can sand it back almost straight away.

We made good progress and finished the day with me having painted the ceiling, and Brian having got a first coat on the coving.

It was starting to come together.
