Plastered

The progress of the last few days has more than made up for the quiet time last month.  Our builders have been installing all the plasterboard in the main display area of the Trainbarn, and as expected it has made a huge difference!  I took some snapshots, though the lighting is difficult.  Anyway, they serve as a great record of the progress.

The main area looking towards the far end.

Looking the other way, towards the entryway.

Looking towards the front wall.  The large Standard Gauge layout table will be in this area.

I really like the angled 'portal-frame' ceiling, it makes the whole area seem more spacious than a flat ceiling would have.  It was no harder to do, just different trusses.  You can see that I still need to do quite a lot of the wallboard below the plaster!  Next week the plasterer will come to start the massive job of filling and smoothing off all the joins.  Not a job that I particularly envy!!  Ok, then I'm left with the equally massive job of painting!!

Not long now before trains can become the focus, rather than building.
