14 Oct 2012: [Extension] The extension is still wood lined, and not totally pretty as it is a mixture of aluminium bits, tape, rough OSB, screwheads etc. Tempting as it is to just paint it out with hi-build paint, my wife wants a proper job (and so do I), so I am going to plaster it out. I don't think I could wet plaster it, as it wouldn't stick, and Id make a mess of it, so it is being dry-lined with plasterboard on dab adhesive. Cutting the plasterboard is very easy with a stanley knife, and the extension is so modular in sizes, that so far, there hasn't been a single square centimetre of waste plasterboard.
