The Plastering is Done

The plastering is done and is drying. It is been done over a short week and left to dry. Plaster is brought right up to the lip of the stairs where previously there was a gap in places between the stairs and wall. 105 year old Victorian/Edwardian walls are not usually straight. This looked like the hardest bit as it a window at roof level but drops down into the staircase a story below. How we are going to paint it, I have no idea! the first bit to be done is now completely dry. The top of the stairs. Under the stairs is screwed plaster board. Under the curve of the stairs is stapled a metal mesh. On this is smeared a heavy fixing plaster. And then it is plastered smooth. And finally on top, the plaster is applied so we have a nice curve. These bits take a bit longer to dry.
