… is taken from almost the same place as yesterday’s. That means that it is much easier to compare the progress for today.
what you will notice is that the framework around the head of the stairs (or where the head of the stairs will be) is now in position. And I have to say that I’m quite impressed with it, even if it means that I have to enter the room now via a ladder. You can almost picture it being clad in plasterboard (except for where the water tank will be, which will be a wooden door).
The horizontals are not permanently fastened yet, which means that I can still bring bulky objects into the room, but I’m not sure what objects I’ll be having that will be so bulky.
I was about to start on the insulation but then I noticed the time – 18:15. As the late, great Arthur Naylor once said -“it’s not worth starting another case” and I resolved on an early night. well, late by normal standards but early these recent days.
It doesn’t look a lot of work, but each one of those joints has been filed by hand to make a millimetre-perfect fit and that takes time. And then I had to go with Terry to the quarry to help him with his order for sand. And a good job I did, as the digger was out of action and we had to handball 800kgs of sand onto the Sankey trailer.
Tomorrow I’ll be insulating, and then finishing off the flooring. Once that is in I’ll be plasterboarding the outside wall. The plasterboarding for the partition walls won’t have polystyrene on them , so that will be done at a later date.
