week 3 of build: 3

We have now finished the sofa, the desk, the dining table and chairs, Gregors chair, the chairs for the living room, the coffee table and we have a range of props to dress the room with. All that needs to be finished is the Doors, the walls in the living room, the floors, the fire place, the ceiling in the bedroom, the windows in the living room and the Bed. so Stuart started building the double doors, these are a bit more difficult because they have to be paneld on both sides, After lunch I start helping him with the doors, getting the main frames for the doors cut, then me and Hannah take the left over MDF and start measuring out the strips and panel's that will be used on the door, When the strips are cut Stuart and Adam start pinning them on while we get the panel's cut.
I also helped Ben mark out in chalk where the lies for the wood panel's on the floor, which will be painted on. Once the lines were marked out Ben lay down masking tape and glazed it so the next day they could be painted.
While we were doing this John covered the walls in the living room with a very watery brown wash making the wall paper look old and discoloured from years of using gas lighting. from a distance it just looks like the wall paper has been there for a long time.
