Week 4 of build: 1

As it was the beginning of the last week we went straight into our work, The doors were now at a stage that they could be put into place, Stuart put the first door on only to find that the hinges made it to big to fit into the frame so he had to take it off and where the hinges were going cut into the wood. using a chisel and hammer he made the holes and when the door was put on the next time it fit perfectly, the same had to be done with the double doors but when it was all put in place it looked fantastic, then Stuart went out to buy some door handles for the rooms.

Once John had painted the majority of the door liners he and Emily started dirtying the ceiling by flicking paint at it. Before they did that Sarah and I were given a pot of gloss and asked by Ben to apply it to areas of the wall to make it look like slime in the light and in certain areas we needed to make it drip down the wall a little which meant that we did get quite a bit on the floor and some on ourselves.

The window frames which had been partially painted were completely painted and varnished before the paper around them was taken off. They would then need crosses fitted in them and the curtains attached above.

The skirting was put down in the bedroom by Adam and as in the living room by the others who had come in. Though in the living room we had to stop half way round so that the floor could be finished as we had had to leave it the Friday before. While we were waiting I found more masking tape and put it down on the lines that had not been finished. When Ben got in he painted the floor boards and I helped put the black paint on as we had before. When it was dry varnish was applied and then we were able to attach the last of the skirting. Now all we needed to do was the fire place stone slab, scuff up the skirting bored and put the bed pieces together inside the set.
