Plaster

Once again I've been surprised by the WA construction techniques. I had assumed that the walls would be covered in Gyprock sheets, but now I see why they added the sandy textured render to the bricks last week. The plaster is actually applied as a liquid. I've no idea how they manage to get the finish so smooth.

Everything looks so crisp and clean with the pure white finish, who needs to paint? We should just leave it like this. They've also installed the stacker doors and all of the glass.

Here you can see how they've only applied the plaster to the sections that won't be covered with tiles or cabinets.

Ceiling plaster

Everyone had a few weeks off over Christmas/New Years but things have got moving again this week. The ceilings have een plastered throughout the house. Much easier to get a feel for the spaces now and everything feels quite good. I was a bit worried about the lounge/dining area pictured here but it's not too bad.

Not too happy about this vent in the kitchen, would have put it somewhere else if we had the choice. Apparently it is a requirement due to the gas hotplate.

Soffited cornices in the hall between the front door and the study, just a little detail to help define the space since there is no doorway between the rooms.
