Upstairs plasterboarding nearly done.

The upstairs plasterboarding has almost been finished now. It's been slow going - with loads of angled cutting of the boards and the insulation beng needed. The builders don't normally do this job - but they gave me a price for doing it and I told them to go ahead. They should be starting on fixing the plasterboard to the ground floor ceilings on Monday. That should be easier because it's all straight cuts. They are running out of plasterboard - I left it to the builders merchants to work out how much would be needed from the plans. They must have miscalculated by a long way. I had to order 36 more sheets today too.
The electrician called today - twice. He should have finished the "first fix" by Monday.
The plasterer also called today - he wants some better sand for the final finish on the outside of the house. I ordered 15 tons for him. He has done the 2 dormer windows now - so the final bit of slating can be done next week too. I had to order 600 extra "slates" today too.

We had a look at some furniture shops yesterday - sofas and dining tables and beds. Nothing bought yet - just looking for now.
