So returned to the Chapel and the task of removing the old plaster from the walls. decided on this as we still had the scaffold up at the worship end and that would allow good access to the walls at that end. The old plaster has turned out to be a mixture of lime plaster and cement render covered by lime. Many areas have come off easily while other parts have been a real nightmare! All of it has been very dusty work and I thought the ceiling removal was messy! Joe came down to help out this week and he was a trojan working hard with the rotary jack hammer to remove the cement render. Sometimes the old bolster and chisel worked best but mostly it was a bit of this then that just to relieve the muscles from repetitive strain! Also had a visit from Mum, Mary and Martin on the Thursday I really loved having them there. It is such a lovely place and deserves to have visitors. Hopefully they are the first of many! Martin was great and managed to remove a whole section of plaster using the rotary hammer, very helpful. any time Martin any time! A visit from Unique Joinery to look at the windows will hopefully result in a quote to update them at a good price.
