We have Insulation, Bricks and Plaster

I can finally announce that the brickwork has started. So far they have bricked up most of the entry, some of the garage, along the side of the house nearest to the neighbour and half the back wall. I'm quite happy with the job so far.

They have lined the walls with insulation so it was a mad dash to finish off the noggings etc before the plaster went on. I was told the plaster would arrive on Friday and would go on the week after. But I arrived at the house on Saturday to find 4 hardworking plasterers at work and they'd just about finished the whole job. I wasn't happy though because I don't think the chippy got around to making the frame for the gas fireplace when he installed the noggings so that's going to have to be done later on. At least we can make this a feature wall after we install the fireplace. We plan to use the darkest Hogs Bristle colour just for this wall. It should look great! (Hogs Bristle is in the colour selections below)

Bedroom 4 or study room with highlight window facing the west.
