More of the same. Dave working up the outside wall ...
... while I do the fiddly bits inside:
The little window in the centre of the picture is to be in the pantry - an internal wall will be built out from the upright immediately to its right. The wall area around the kitchen window far right will be tiled, and so will need plasterboard surround. This means the rough plaster (which provides fire and insect proofing for the straw) will be hidden, and can be left rough. I'm lathing the area on the left which is the internal wall between the pantry and music room behind.
This is the kitchen area facing east. The end wall, with the door opening, will maybe one day give on to the planned utility room - although we are tempted to have a sun terrace there for spring and autumn mornings instead. Either way, we plan to leave these little walls either side of the door as thin (but insulated) skin and carry the straw bale wall over the top on a robust frame. So the walls need to be lath and plastered too.
