Outside inside

The far wall of the cellar had been stripped of its crumbling plaster coating by our Workaway Chris. It was now for us to fill in the gaps in the stonework with chaux. This is the outside wall, but as the other side is mostly sunk into the hill we have to seal it from the inside.

We knew it would be a long day, so we had a big, early breakfast, and got on with it. Here’s a timelapse video of the day.

Phew! After a few hours Brian went back to rub down the chaux, to remove any loose bits. We were glad when it was over, but it’s such a milestone, and it will make a huge difference when it’s finished. It already looks so much better.
