I managed to borrow a lovely, lightweight, movable scaffold tower from Rae, so NOW NOW NOW is the time to get on with boarding out the rest of this otherwise completely inaccessible space, and now is also the time to be finishing the very daunting ceiling painting Alec and I started back in 2018.
The boarding is going very well and quickly, mainly because Ben is a machine. I am dragged along semi-willingly.
We put sound insulation in both walls so that I can be running 10 sewing machines at full tilt while Julian is on a phone call for work. Right now Ben is working on some bi-fold sound-insulating shutters for the windows that face each other across the gap. Both rooms already have closing doors, so we should be good to go shortly.
Meanwhile, I have some filling to do before we paint the wall and some painting to do before we can paper up the rest of the ceiling painting. Here’s a fun timelapse of me painting one of the 4 panels.
