After six years of staring at this horrific colour scheme, it was time to finally get the exterior colours sorted. As much as I hate this cement pebbledash, a new lime render finish is a bit of a waste when much more important jobs require completing, so some fresh paint will suffice for now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main paint used was Dulux Weathershield on the cement and reveals, Johnstones acrylic on the door columns and fanlight and Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell on the front door and windows. </div>

Seamus Martin of Sash Window repair, along with his colleague Sean designed and built two brand new window shutterboxes for the kitchen window and stairs window. The kitchen window originally had a full sized, floor to ceiling shutterbox but it had been lost decades ago. As the kitchen sink now sits below the window, I wanted a new shutterbox made up to match the original, traversing down and joining the kitchen countertop.</div>

Haigney Restoration from Drogheda made the 35km journey to Dundalk for four separate visits, to get the stairs ceiling finally plastered. As per the original ceiling, it's comprised of laths and lime plaster.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once the laths were nailed in place, the plastering could being in three seperate stages, the scratch coat, the float coat and the skim coat. There was about one week in between the coats and I kept the plaster wet with a water sprayer for a few days after each coat to stop it drying out too quickly.</div>

Just a small bit of test fitting below, as the door hasn't stood in this frame in about 3 years. The odd shape of the door is likely the result of alterations made to it over the years to ensure it continues to fit the opening, as the frame has a tendency to change shape. The opening was likely square when the house was built, but there is always settling of masonry and brick so the opening has changed shape over time:<br />

This is the other door which needs work, so much work in fact that I've left it with a local joiner to refurbish the cracked panels throughout, as it's beyond my skill-set. More in this later.<br />

Further apologies for the lack of updates, January was a slow month as I was away on business, plus getting trades back in after the Christmas break was slow going. So I continued with some more painting in the mean time.<br />
<br />
Lastly, follow me on Instagram! I should have started this page years ago, I plan to update it much more frequently than the blog, at least twice a week:<br />

My new utility room is set to be installed within the next 10 days, along with new smart heating controls from EvoHome. The stairs ceiling should be complete in the next fortnight and i'm hoping to get started with the new shutterboxes around the kitchen window, stairs window and full refurbishment of the front foor, new fanlight and door case, still lots to come!Stephenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10369743888192361295noreply@blogger.com8Dundalk, Co.

<br />
I'm not sure of the correct term to describe this piece of timber I worked on, but it's basically a molded plinth that sits atop of a reeded timber upright which lines the opening of the archway leading into the kitchen from the dining room, just below the upper section of the arched molding that traverses the same arch, made from plaster.<br />
<br />
The front section of this rounded detail was lost, essentially cut or knocked cleanly away, indicating that this front piece was likely made up of two sections.<br />
<br />
I added two screws to provide structural integrity to the piece I was about to fashion:<br />

Whilst it dried nice and hard it didn't bond to the timber very well at all, so ultimately it was a failure:</div>

The main reason I haven't posted much is because I was trying to get one full task started and seen through to completion, so readers could see the final result, like the refurbishment of a window shutter or skirting etc. Instead of what I normally do; post up random work that gets started, but then the final result not being published for months later.<br />
<br />
Alas it's just impossible to do. For example in this ground floor front room, all the paint stripping has to be done at once, followed by all the sanding done at once, then filling all at once, sanding again, then repairs, priming etc. So I inevitably find myself doing 10 tasks simultaneously, like skirting, the window shutters, hinge work, plasterwork, plaster carving, molding installation etc etc. All tasks are interlinked and I often find one job can't progress until another is started, so here follows another post of works completed, with no final result!<br />
<br />
The ground floor front room will be the dining room, with the adjoining kitchen located through the archway to the rear. The front of the room is dominated by a large six over six double sash window with shutterbox and shutters.<br />
<br />
The shutterbox was covered with 200 years of paint, which rendered any fine detail hard to see.<br />

Here we are nearly 6 weeks later and still no sign of their return.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, the repairs look promising. This is the upper section of the staircase reassembled:<br />

The original skirting is now back in place and the structural integrity of the treads as you walk up or down is strikingly different; it's rock solid.<br />

Stripping begins. Note the two larger balusters which were replaced at some point, as was the newel post at the bottom of the stairs. This will be replaced with the original monkey tail.<br />

These thinner, finer detailed balusters are the originals (below) and i'll likely have them re-arranged so that all the originals are in a single row, with the larger copies in a less obvious location like on the turn of the stair rail:<br />

Many of the treads are also in very poor condition:</div>

It would have been the simpler option to just fit this out as a large bedroom, however I liked the idea of having a living room on an upper floor and wanted to make proper use of its large proportions.<br />
<br />
The floors were attended to after the decorating was finished.<br />
<br />
The first thing required was the draining down of the large radiator so the sander could get right in against the wall. It took half an hour to drain this monster down:<br />

<br />
I also nailed down any loose boards with period floor clasps:<br />
<br />

<br />
I also wanted to fill in the gaps where the pipework for the radiator entered the floor, so I tightly fitted some accurately cut pieces of floor board into place:<br />

I also decided at the last minute to install a stove on the ground floor in the front room, just before the original surround was reinstalled. This is a Stanley Oisin 7kW solid fuel stove:<br />

A full, proper update with proper pictures coming shortly.</div>

The sitting room to-be is located on the first floor at the front of the house. It is characterised by original lime plaster walls, an arched opening, original window shutters and boxes, recently restored original 6 over 6 sash windows, original pitch pine floors, reinstated cornicing and an early 1800s marble fireplace surround sourced from Dublin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The biggest challenge with this room was getting the walls to an acceptable level of finish so that they could be painted. Lining paper was always an option, but I wanted the original lime finish to be visible, as historically this room was always wallpapered throughout its 200 year lifetime. The walls had already been patched by my lime plasterer Paddy, however the finish was not good enough to be painted. After experimenting with different limes and skims, which just wasn't working repairing small areas, I settled on using a gypsum-based, powdered filler (usually a big no no) to repair any cracks or dings in the walls. I also used it to feather out the lime repairs, blending the join lines between the old and the new.</div>

After a preliminary filling and sanding of each wall, a 50:50 mix of white emulsion and water gives a much better base for not only subsequent coats, but also to highlight other areas requiring repair, that are very hard to see with the original stained finish.<br />

The chimney breast was the only wall done in gypsum, (actually unbeknownst to me until it was done) as the sides were boxed off as covered in previous updates, to hide the boiler stove pipework.<br />

In my eyes, the choice of a suitable kitchen for this 1820s Georgian house was absolutely critical. Nothing that I had viewed from most of the large kitchen companies was in any way suitable; not that I had elaborate aspirations or demanding requirements, quite the opposite in fact.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted a simple, clean, sharp and somewhat basic and utilitarian looking kitchen. Something that would not clash with the decor and character of the house and would befit the period. Yet it needed to be fresh and elegant looking at the same time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Based on a combination of styles from www.neptune.com, I approached Noel Twibill of Twibill Designs, Dundalk, Co. Louth (just 1 km from my house) to apply the same in-frame cabinet and drawer design and implement it in my somewhat more limited space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of the design challenges included the crossing of the rear sash window with the cabinets and countertop, the hiding and bypassing of a pile of pipes and cabling to the right of the window coming from the floor above and the squeezing of a full height and width integrated fridge freezer to the left side of the chimney breast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was an early design, with cornicing above the cabinets and a non integrated fridge:</div>

These are some designs closer to the final result, with the glass cabinet since changed to a plate rack and shelving:</div>

Noel has proven to be exceptionally knowledgeable and understood exactly the look I was looking for, constantly making tiny changes to little details like panel depths, edges, kickpanels, door spacing etc to meet my exact requirements.</div>

Well this was a hell of a task! Drilling two 50mm holes through 21 inches of a stone rubble wall to allow for a kitchen sink waste pipe and a gas hob pipe to pass through to the outside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

The only tool for the job: a 19"diamond tipped, water-cooled drill bit and a powerful Hilti drill. Two of the most expensive holes every drilled, only €100 for a two hour rental! :/</div>

For the first hole, I had no real clue as to the best speed to use or how to use it, so it took a good 30-40 minutes to get the drill unpacked and drilled right through.<br />
