While Mark was working on the spring boards, Rosalba was applying shellac to the timber floor. The shellac comes in flake form and needs to be dissolved in methylated spirits and then brushed on the floor. Certainly made for interesting times for Rosalba with the metho fumes. Applying shellac is certainly something you only want to do in a well ventilated room. The result is certainly worth it as you can see in the picture. Rosalba also put the first coat of paint on the plaster walls. Looking great as well but I dare you to asks Rosalba about the sneak of the paint.
