… that was taken at some silly time of the evening – like 19:16 if the timestamp is to be believed.
The tongue and grooving is coming along famously but it’s just so slow. I’ve done less than a third and my 2-day timespan for this is now expired. Still, if national governments can be overdue and over-budget then so can I.
All of the lengths are different so each piece needs to be cut individually. I’m glad I bought the Ryobi circular saw as that it what is doing the bulk of the work. But some of this t&g is total carp – knots missing and all that kind of thing.
When it’s done it’s going to be varnished in clear lacquer. I like untreated wood but it’s not realistic in this kind of environment to keep it untreated.
Tomorrow is shopping day. 3 sheets of plasterboard, a sheet of 10mm plywood, some skirting board and some architraving and that will be about it. The glass I need will have to wait until next weekend when I pick up the furniture. I’m picking up the woodstove on Sunday too.That will be exciting.
And another early night for me.
Looking good. Is it me or does the attic just not look to be terribly big? It doesn’t look 10 feet from one end to the other.
It’s looking lovely. Keep going at this rate and you’ll have a very snug home this winter 🙂
It’s 5 metres by 5 metres give or take a bit. And I must admit that I’m quite looking forward to being in there.
Hello,
just got your email. My old computer went bust a month or two back and I lost my favourites.
Your house is looking much more habitable. Strawberry might be venturing out of his warm dry van at this rate. I hope those walls are all super insulated to make the most of your wood stove and renewable electrics.
Say hello to Strawberry from me.
Hello Louise and welcome. it’s nice to see you again.
No problem with the insulation. There’s a 25mm air gap and then some of this space-age insulation and then another 25mm air gap and then 40mm of polystyrene. There’s 80mm of polystyrene in the roof.
And Strawberry sends you his very best wishes.
