Preparing the kitchen

The plaster at the back of the cooker was peeling off the wall in chunks. So we've stripped it back to the studs, and we're going to put up a vapour barrier and water resistant plaster board (also known as gyprock, or drywall) over that wall. We also need to repair the ceiling as that's where the chimney was.

I'll also get to use one of my new tools - a compressor and nail gun. This very scary piece of kit is noisy but should make stapling the vapour barrier very quick. The instruction manual reads more like a "How not to use this tool" than an instruction manual.
