Jasmin Cottage back out again.

One of the panels in St. Mary's. I don't get bored of looking at these and the more photographs taken the better; St. Mary's is being re-arranged inside in 2025, it won't be the first time the Corporation pews have been shifted.

So, the frame repairs are done on this section of Jasmin Cottage. The cavities between the studs have sheepwool insulation installed, leaving a gap for air circulation, 3"/75mm batts in a 4.5"/115mm cavity. Then 1"/25mm woodwool boards installed on to the frame as a substrate for lime rendering.


The washers are covered in scrim and natural plaster primer, to prevent non-adhesion of the lime render in those spots.


Then it's removal of woodworking tools and equipment, down the long passage to the Totnes High St; there is no road access to Jasmin Cottage! 


I don't mind one bit though, because the passage leads to one of my favourite buildings and the carvings therein; St Mary's Church. The building on the left stands on the footprint of an Anglo-Saxon hall.


Just as a reminder, my tribute to the exquisite carvings on the Corporation Pews.





Some other glimpses of the area where Rivers Joinery are mainly working in the near future, the heart of Totnes.
