Dwarf walls put up

Week Seventeen.

 

The dwarf brick walls have gone up but we have made the decision not to put them on the back wall inside the building. They were going to be used to hide the damaged lower courses of the old wall, but we felt that they would have stuck out too much into the room, plus the colour of the reclaimed bricks is much pinker and more orange than the existing wall which is actually quite red lower down. We felt the colour contrast would be too great and have instead chosen to have the lower part of the wall battened and insulated like a mini stud wall with the oak shelf on top and a matching oak skirting board below. We can then simply plaster the gap between and paint it the same as the other walls.
