You may remember back in August 2015 in my week 2 post about the Project Woodlands house renovations, there were pictures of concrete being poured for a concrete base for a garden room.
As if we don’t have enough on our plates with the house we have been slowly working on a garden office / shed at the bottom of the garden.

After chasing up on what was going on the plasterers said they would return and work at ours over the weekend to make up for not being here on the Thursday and Friday. They then worked through until early afternoon on Christmas eve to get as much done as possible. The plastering has really transformed the spaces and they are finally starting to feel like rooms again. To celebrate we set up a make shift table in our lounge, opened a couple of presents and had some fun playing laser tag around the house. lounge plaster boarding lounge plastering boarding the front bedroom plaster drying out in front bedroom entrance hall plastered entrance hall plastered plastered hallway plastered hallway celebrating ...
