DIY - Dining Room

Well, i have managed to plaster the ceiling and the chimney breast, also removed the woodwork from around the window which unearthed another load of work. The window needed foaming around the frame for a start and i put a new peice of wood in above to hold a few bricks up, the main lintel is behind the new peice of wood, the new peice only holds a few bricks. Fixed a new window board on and removed the rest of the loose plaster, which didn't really leave much left.

Fitted a new pendant on the ceiling just as a temporary measure so i have some light in their to work with, as the nights are dark when I get home from work now. have put a new double socket back box on the side of the chimney stack, this will house the one which was originally on the front of the chimney stack, I need to switch the power off and move the electrics, not easy doing that in the dark, so that may have to wait till next weekend, unless i find my torch!!

Been checking out the other walls and the condition of the plaster, i'm begining to think that the person who previously plastered them was not a plasterer, if he was, then he was drunk that day.
