For anyone that has been wondering if we'd ceased operations, let's just say we've had a hiatus. July was taken up with work and August was taken up with the devastating and tragic loss of a close friend, Ben Abrahams, who featured on the blog a good few times.
Though it seems trivial, the work has kicked off again and progress is as follows:
The ceiling cladding is 90% complete and only requires 2 strips to be ripped using a table saw to fill in 2 gaps - one above head height to close the ceiling up, and one on the south eaves. The north eaves are all done. The window reveals also need to be done, but again table saw will sort that fairly quickly we hope. Rockwool was placed in between the bathroom boxes and the cladding as soundproofing.
The bathroom boxes and the south side of the bathroom are complete, fixed and faced, and plasterboard has been fitted to the same wall. The yellow/cream board is Tilebacker (waterproof) and the blue is Moisture Resistant.
We have got a joiner in to help out and speed up (and improve the quality of) the plasterboarding, and he is making good progress:
James and Jaimin also cut out new MDF resistant windowsills for the bathroom, as they will last longer than the planned plywood ones.
Next up we need to finish the ceiling cladding completely, and once the plasterboarding is done, internally anyway it will be on to priming for paint.
