A few days after this the electrician turned up to do all the sockets, light switch and phone points, unfortunately i was so busy helping him, i didnt get any photos of the electrics going in (i had already done all the chasing out and fixing of the back boxes). And now with only the weekend to spare before the plaster turned up i had to prepare for him.

First thing was the fit some polystyrene sheets between the batons on the two wall with the cableing. This was to A:- act as some type of soundproofing and B:- to give some insulation to these walls. 

Other wall.

Most of that weekend was spent knocking off any other loose plaster and 'PVA'ing the walls and ceiling. (This is done with a watered down PVA glue which plasterers use so that the actual plaster sticks to the wall, mainly where they are plastering over already plastered/painted walls).

Then, one day later than planned Andy my plasterer turned up and made a start.

Unforunately i didnt get a photo of the completely finished plastered room, but it took Andy two and a half days. 

a good plasterer is worth his weight in thistle..ere sorry gold! the finish coat is everything in my book and it makes an excellant job just awesome. Nice to hear your man took his time.

Lovely project, just a thought when i terminated my ML boxes i soldered them i just didn't like the idc (push on) system.

Great project good luck with the rest, a compliments from a spark.

I didnt get any photos of me painting, but the Sunday 'just gone', i got up early and started to paint.

Firstly on a freshly plastered surface your fist coat wants to be a watered down coat of emulsion, this will dry fairly quickly, so once i had done that off i went to B&Q to buy the paint that SWMBO had spent weeks contemplating over.

Got home, white paint on ceiling, three shades of grey on the walls and after 9 hours of painting i sat down to hear SWMBO state that she Hates the shade of grey that went on the chimney brest.

Currently sat here tonight my room looks like this...... 

So as you can see, the system is once again wired up and working, the TV will have to come out of the room again, for me to do the flooring at the end of next week. but the 9000 is staying exactly where it is forever, as if you have ever tried connecting up the hidden cables on a horizontally mounted system you will now how hard it is.

To be continued..............
 

Looking good mark.
What's going in the fireplace?
