Day 97: Preparation for interior plastering

We spent the day doing the following tasks in preparation for interior plastering.
  • Completed cutting and installing diamond mesh metal lath to the interior edge of the top plate and around the entry door
  • Completed applying plastic sheet and masking tape to the curved beams and electrical boxes
  • Fabricated blocks that simulate the windowsills during plastering. These blocks are needed because the wood that will be used to fabricate windowsills will not be dry and ready to finish until summer, 2010. They will allow the plaster to be molded around where the windowsills will eventually mount.
  • Swept the walls to remove any loose debris
  • Swept the floors to remove a month’s worth of construction debris
  • Started applying masking tape and plastic sheet around the perimeter of the building
I'll close with two pics of the redwood casing I mentioned in Tuesday’s post. Thanks for reading. I appreciate your comments.
