Learning from Scratch: Renovating a house in Brittany: September = wiring, rebuilding, destruction

http://brittanyrenovationfromscratch.blogspot.com/2013/09/september-wiring-rebuilding-destruction.html

Learning from Scratch: Renovating a house in Brittany. Tuesday, 24 September 2013. September = wiring, rebuilding, destruction. The new central heating system comes at the end of the week so the clock's ticking to get as much as possible done for the plumber. The less he does, the cheaper he is! Cutting out the old steel heating pipes. With a junior hacksaw. Making a conduit track in the loft to keep the wiring above the insulation. Wiring the upstairs lights. Make the hearth ventilation neat and central...

natural modern interiors: Natural Wall Finishes :: Tadelakt Lime Plaster

http://naturalmoderninteriors.blogspot.com/2012/07/natural-wall-finishes-tadelakt-lime.html

INTERIOR DESIGN and RENOVATIONS. CHEMICAL and TOXIC FREE HOME. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Natural Wall Finishes : Tadelakt Lime Plaster. I am currently looking for a natural wall finish that I can use on a curved wall in a shower recess. Mosaics or small tiles would be one solution but I am looking for a more natural and traditional product that looks similar to polished plaster. One material that I am investigating at the moment is Tadelakt. Polishing the wall with a glass bead. August 2, 2012 at 2:21 PM.

Learning from Scratch: Renovating a house in Brittany: September 2013

http://brittanyrenovationfromscratch.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Learning from Scratch: Renovating a house in Brittany. Friday, 27 September 2013. Boiler house re-rendered and top of wall re-built. Hearth plastered, awaiting false oak lintel and cover place. Conduit tracks in the loft to go over the insulation. Platform over new joists to take header tanks. I was a bit toasty doing this! Bit like working in a sauna for people under 4ft tall while wearing a woolly jumper 10cm thick! Trying to hide placcy surface mounting stuff for the lights. Tuesday, 24 September 2013.

Renovating Naturally: April 2013

http://renovatingnaturally.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, 21 April 2013. Well last week we finally started timber framing. It has been lovely to see Mike again. We build 2 passive houses with his company McCartney’s and Co. Near Padstow a few years ago which were stunning. This job involved a lot more in-situ planning as the frame is having to join onto the existing house and rafters. I am please to say Mike’s calm and pragmatic approach is a pleasure to work with as always and the frame flew up, with the NBT system going on next week. Replaced the dodg...
