Wooden Shoe Workshop Progress Report

 Two of us managed to get together on-line today for a miniature meeting. During the meeting, I dirtied up the hallway and sink area, fitted up the window, and added the faucet.

Apart from the hallway floor, there are now two areas of the workshop that are pretty much done, ready to have accessories installed. The smaller bench to sit in the hallway is stained and ready to assemble, later this evening.

A close-up of the janitor's sink, faucet and drainage basin in the hallway, with the bathroom's green door to the left. I added some more "dirt" above the grate after seeing this photo, as I suspect there would be lots of splashed water from the grate to dirty up the wall. I'm pleased with my afternoon's work.

The "dirtying" was all done with chalks, in ochre, cinnamon, brown, gray and black, with a coarse bristle paint brush. The cracks in the stucco were done with a fine paintbrush and very diluted gray paint. Next job is to lay the crack or joint filler floor, and paint that. Once that is done, the bathroom wall and stairs can be put in, and then it's on to the workshop area proper. Just having the window in adds to the look of the thing, I think!
