week 2 of build: 2

Tuesday was a day of wallpapering. In the morning Henry came into show us how to put up wallpaper, as both our sets of wallpaper are patterned it would be very important for us to put them up correctly. But before he showed us that he informed us that you wouldn't paint first put do the walls how they would be done in real life so wallpaper up first. I could see his point but does this mean that when making a set you need to plaster first, also how would they create the effect that under the wallpaper the walls were rotting away. So most of the lumps of paint and sawdust that had been applied the day before needed removing so me and Laura went around the room taking them off while the others started putting up the paper in the living room.

About half way through the day we realised that we would not have enough wallpaper to finish the room so after calling B&Q I went down to the shop in Strood with Hannah and Eleanor to pick up a few more rolls. When we got there we were shocked at the price and when we rang up the group to find out how many were needed we found that we would have to get five more rolls, luckily they were on a three for two offer so I and Eleanor got half each. But it did mean that by the end of the day all the walls in the living room were covered and we had one extra for the bedroom just in case. While we were doing this Stuart started work on the doors which he hadn't quite finished designing but by the afternoon he knew what he was doing and was starting to build it with Henry.
