10 November 2016
Lots of days painting the interior wall sections with limewash. While the scaffolding is set up for plastering, I thought it would make sense to paint the high level panels as well, so we don't have to shuffle all the furniture and protective sheets back and away again later. Three coats in each section, washed down all around between each coat. We're doing a lot of work to give ourselves a smart 'half-timbered' mediaeval finish, but it does look rather fabulous as it starts to come together. By Thursday 10th, almost all the west end of the living room is painted.

The two big bedroom wall panels - they took some doing!
While waiting for the high level sections to dry, Dave and I painted the lower ones too, so that this job moved much faster than we'd expected. Which is a nice change!
Then, excitement! Rowan came round to measure for the remaining windows and doors. He reckons he can do the outstanding downstairs casements and the front door before he leaves for the UK in December - wonderful!
