We have finally finished the second coat of plaster - hurrah! A small bottle of beer each to celebrate, and then on with the next project - the kitchen floor.
Of course, the final bit of wall only needed a fraction of a mix, so I took the opportunity to use the excess as a rough hand-applied coat of plaster on the inside of the kitchen, under the window, where there will be plasterboard for tiles - this protects the bales from damp and insect invasion, provides fireproofing and encloses the insulation, so it has to be done.

We then started clearing out the clutter that has collected, especially under the stairs. But at least the fridge will be nearer the cooker and sink now.
The tool dresser got moved into the living space, to make a nice work place with the bench - this involved a morning of re-stacking the bales to clear back about a metre and a half of extra floor space.
Look, far more room for coffee chairs and table now. Much better for our extended tea breaks, especially when we have visitors!
But the nice empty music room has had to be filled up with a lot of storage instead. Can't be helped.
