    I am only skimming in the walls as they were built thinking it was getting boarded , other wise they would have finished the joints etc flatter.. so i am just flattening them out some..


    Tank some areas.. i have to leave all the bottom cuts out as the floors have not long been poured ( gyvlon ) and they need sanding and then force drying.... got about 140 mtrs down stairs to do as well and another wetfloor area in the gym..

    It's all beautiful, but the thought of the physical effort!! I could black out just thinking of it... who carried all that stone and stacked it so neatly? Good lord...
