Doorways Boarded and Plasterboard on its Way

Now that we are fully windowed and the place is becoming gradually airtight this morning was one for talk about plaster-boarding and plastering.   Builders Hopleys have a slight lull before their next big job so they can drop straight onto our internal walls.  Indeed the plasterboard arrives tomorrow!

We had to wait to be sure we could ventilate, heat and dehumidify before the plastering stage started.

Through many projects now I have come to appreciate that builders, and other trades cannot be in two places at once so opportunities like this are most welcome.

I have also learnt that builders are inventive people well used to problem solving. They need two essential creature comforts as well - tea and a loud radio.  Unfortunately our tower provides a massive metal and stone shield that gets in the way of good radio reception.   But where there's a will there's a way:


I wonder if the radio station being picked up is Builder's Band?
