Meanwhile, back inside . . .

Plasterers are plastering and decoraters are cleaning and painting. Although decorating is usually the last job to do in any building project, the ceiling (which includes the trusses and purlins up there) and which is very high up needs to be done now before the interior scaffolding comes down. (The rest will be done later.) They decorators will also seal the walls that have been left as bare stone.

No - I haven't been decapitated. I'm standing on a lower level of the scaffolding.

The lower photo shows the recently plastered archway into the kitchen, the back windows (as yet without their frames) and the doorway into the downstairs cloakroom and utility room. (and Steve disappearing left.)
