DIY - Under the stairs

Got the rest of the old plaster off from under the stairs, took a while as the brickwork was so uneven. Finished off all the boarding tonight, its now ready for floating. Had to re-wire the light as it was not installed correctly, this means I won't be able to get the light working until I can connect it into the kitchen light circuit. It did give me a chance to move the light switch to the side of the doorway, as before it was in the kitchen, which meant you had to walk through the space to get to the switch. Whoever re-wired it the first time did it for ease and speed and not for praticality. I was lucky with the boarding here, all the off cuts from the dining room ceiling were trimmed to fit, I could have just used a full board or two, but it makes me feel better when I can save a little money :-)

One of the walls is so uneven I may give it a scratch coat of sand and cement, then dot and dab some boards on it with drywall adhesive. Not made my mind up just yet as to what I will do, need to give it a day or two, maybe I'll decide when it comes time to do the work.

Going to try and float the other wall (on the left of the picture) tomorrow night when I get home from work, we'll have to see how I feel.
