At last, the weather is looking good for several days ahead. Time to start the final lap of plaster.
Rowan arrived bright and early, bringing Jade as apprentice. We dropped the tarpaulins, and there it was, the last bale wall, in that lovely fluffy state before the plaster goes on.

The 'before' shot - a winter's worth of tarpaulins and sailcloth, covering the west wall. Time for it all to be dismantled.
Dave doing a gig the night before - his singing is coming along great!
Lucy joining the band to play flute and sing a couple of numbers.
Back at the wall - where the plastered face meets the raw bales. First job is to cover all the exposed wood in blue plasterer's mesh to ensure a good adhesion. The bales don't need it.
Rowan and Jade arrive and the loo window is first to be fitted.
Making the most of having someone young and flexible - Jade inside the old chicken run, digging out the weeds so we can move it around.
Rowan finishes off: ground floor is the loo window, round the corner is the bathroom sink window and the two upstairs are in the bedroom. Now we can start the plaster.
