Progress... by the bucketload...
Last Sunday I fitted up the doorframe for linen cupboard.
Then I rehung all the frames that have been floating arouund the house, down the hallway. The effect is excellent!
Then I started in on making the frame, which will hold the bath up.
Checking the hang height of the bath, allowing for the mortar bed.
Laying out the wall positions on the floor.
The internal wall (which is the back of the linen cupboard) in, and the rebates cut and the sill in for the bath support.
This week will be inserting the villaboard on the half wall, and dressing it to the right places to admit the bath. Then I will insert the second pieces in and insulate and then close the walls up to the roof!
Current ETC is August if this level of activity continues...

Checking the bath level, and the tap positions (They're waaaay too high!)
The half wall is in...but now I can't get the bath in, hmmmm....
The rebates dressed out at the top to admit the bath, now it fits!
The remainder of the ceiling is in!
This morning I took everything out and gave it all a good sweep and vaccuum, before laying down the unnderlay.
The first sheet down. Got it right first time!
Second sheet down and nailed in.
Third sheet (only a little one) in and nailed down. Got it right first time too!

You've been busy! Makes me want to find time for a trip north, just to see all the changes since my last visit...
Always busy! But now I'm busy and have something tangible to show for all the effort!
Most frustrating part of the whole project is the number of hours I've poured into stuff you can't see, and makes no difference to the end result in absolute terms, but would cause major hassles if it failed.
Still coming up on the 3rd?
log me in!!
