Studio/Workshop Progress Report - Render!

Yes, it's a mess, and no, the true colour of the render will not be revealed until it has dried, but I'm declaring the application of the first coat of render a major step in the right direction!

This is the first of three coats of lime render, and forms a base for the thicker second coat which - weather permitting - will be applied next week.

Once the second coat is dry, my work resumes in earnest; fitting of ceilings, wall linings, eaves, bathroom waterproofing and fit out, and installation of floor coverings will keep me very busy for the next couple of months after which I'll be ready for the third and final coat of render inside and out. 

Winters here are bitterly cold by Australian standards, so before I tackle these jobs, I'll prepare for the wet, cold months ahead by stuffing the gaps at the top of the external walls with insulation material.

Cheers
Pete
