Week 19 Rendering, Cornice and Stairs

Week Nineteen 11 - 15 Feb 

Day 90 - 94.  The open area between the stairs and the garage has been patched up with the underneath of the stairs being left open as I wanted.  

In this open area under the stairs the vaccum system will go under the high part of the stairs and the low part will be used for storage.
 

 

The last of the cornice work has been completed around the top of the tiled areas and around the porch and deck areas outside.

The porch was an interesting one to solve.  On the front edge of the porch where the ceiling meets the eaves there was a piece of board hanging down that was deep enough for the cornice to be secured to.  The plaster said the piece of board was too flimsy to secure the cornice to and it could not be secured through the ceiling as there was a metal support under that area of the roof.  Anyway he wanted to finish the join between the walls and the ceiling with square quad but I checked with the site superviser and they were able to finish three sides with cornice and then square set the fourth side.

All of the exterior rendering is now complete around the front of the house.  I think it looks great and it will allow us to change the house colour as fashion changes - assuming of course we bother with fashion.
