Sanding back

We woke on Sunday excited and ready to get going with the library. We both chucked on our work clothes and were ready to get started.

A quick breakfast to charge us up, and Brian was soon sanding back some of the plaster used to fill in the joins of the plaster board.

He had a bit of a head start on me, whilst I sorted out the equipment I needed for painting, but it wasn’t long until I was whizzing along behind him, rolling on a coat or two of undercoat.

We need to undercoat the walls as they are all newly fitted plaster boards. I say ‘newly fitted’, but this work was done a few months before we moved over to France in 2020, so newish. This room had never been a priority, as it’s not a room our guests use. We have also changed our minds a few times on how we are styling it, but we now have a clear vision and can’t wait to get decorating. The undercoat dries super quick, as it gets sucked up by the plasterboard. It will help us achieve a good coverage when we apply our top coat.
