While the cats doze peacefully (it's raining outside, and the stove is lit) we are continuing the ceiling - sloooowly!
Them as knows our crazy old cottage will have seen the less-than-ultra-straight beams we have downstairs. We are gradually covering the Kronoply with limewaxed lambris (tongue-and-groove), set at 45 degrees (set at right angles, it looks too much like a roll-top-desk, and in fact the angled setting is easier...)
The latest section is the hardest yet, with navigating round the staircase, the electric 'gaine', through which the cables run, and most difficult, the mad shapes of the beams.
Our B&Q chop-saw was a waste of money! It has only run faithfully for 12+ years, survived three new sets of brushes and is still going strong. It's handy laser light gave up the ghost some years ago, but we're not complaining...
Makes a change to be able to hand out complements for something!
et voila! the widest, most uneven, least accessible row of the lot (I hope) - DONE!!
