Replastering Victorian Walls

Plaster Pain, Part Three

30th May 2004


So the plasterboard arived, but we couldn't get it into the bedroom!


There was just no way it would fit round that angle


But the bannister has always been a bit wobbly so I reckon that will come out easy enough,,,


Rinny Helped in her own unique way


The fish were no help at all


The part of the landing has been nearly falling off for ages, so all it needed was a gentle nudge with the crowbar

The leaning bannister of Rectory Road. Actually I've just found out this is in fact a 'newel'.


With a fair amount of wiggling and sailor like language the whole rail popped out.


Each spindle has these marvellous bit of brittle metal that were a joy to remove. Sarchasim doens't come accross well on a webpage so I'll be honest and tell you they were a pain in the poo.


Hello look, I found a way of making our bath look worse!


And here's how our landing looks with no rails. Yes, I did nearly fall down the stairs a few times while things were in this state!

Finally the plasterboard is actually in the room we need it in!


Originally we were only going to fill the gap that we had already removed with new plasterboard, but in a monent of dust induced insanity we decided to replace the entire wall.


When the picture rails was removed (nearly intact) we found three or four layers of old wallpaper.


Hurrah, the railing is back in place! I don't need to worry about coming a cropper when I'm en-route to tinkle the ivories in the dead of night! I will also add that the rail and newel is now studier than when I took it down. Also, the wall at the far end of the is now holier.


nearly there,,,


Em takes a well earned tea break


I took this photo ro remind us of why we are making all this mess!
