So fast approaching a big milestone on the kitchen. Plaster time!
Jim is booked in a couple of days and the kitchen isn't quite ready. Key thing now is to finish taping the plasterboard. Key to avoid cracks in the not to distant future along the joints. The secret is to avoid air bubbles under the tape - sounds easy enough - but after a full day of work and having to go up and down the ladder to do the umpteenth strip of tape on the ceiling it's easy to miss. And believe me, it's a right PITA to remedy afterwards. Luckily only a couple of spots in the room needed a little TLC.
Corner joints were covered with a metal bead to get a nice smooth line and protect the walls from future bumps. With 2 little ones, that's pretty much guaranteed.
Everything is starting to take form now. Can't wait to see what it looks like without all the "character features" on the wall. Stay tuned ...
