Renovating: Final Plastering and Painting Around a Window

This is a photos montage of the final rough plastering, skimming and finish plastering, and paining of a wall around a small window in our house.

    Beautiful! Are these photos recent? If so, how’s the weather? I know it’s been cool and wet around Europe. Just wondering if everything’s curing and drying well.

      The rough plaster was done much earlier, and was completely dry. The skimming and painting was done late last month when we had a mini heat wave here and no rain. So the paint dried fine to the touch. But then the weather did snap to cool and raining. The room is heated, but the paint is surely still curing, so I will not add any final wood trim until some time next month.
