More on the ensuite...

That's the fellah!

[CorradoG60]

Good stuff, he's been OK about everything actually. I was a bit annoyed about the pipe we had to replace when we dug out but I'm just glad that's all over with now. I'd hate to be back at that cold, wet, muddy stage lol.

More Plaster boarding.

[CorradoG60]

Looking from in the bedroom, can see where bedroom and ensuite doors will go.

[CorradoG60]

Almost forgot...At this stage, I had a mate (Sparky) start the rewire of the whole house, inc a new/big consumer unit with plenty of space.

[CorradoG60]

More plaster boarding done, and started bringing the new ceiling height through from the extension, and floating under the original ceiling in the house via 3x2 framework.

Plasterboard/Ceiling thrown up in the en-suite.

[CorradoG60]

I boarded the ceiling in the bedroom, then got the plasterers back in.
Part way through...

And here's my little girl (Izzy) making sure it's up to standard.

Can I have smooth walls in my room Daddy?

[CorradoG60]

Onto the other bedroom, which is going to be a bathroom

The room to start with.

[CorradoG60]

Bit of 3x2...and fixing to the joists above.

Using this plastic paneling, it can be a friggin nightmare to work with though. (Easily damaged if not careful) Has a chrome strip inbetween each panel.

[CorradoG60]

Going up. Using a screw on each panel which sits in the 'Push fit' joins.

[CorradoG60]

Running the wiring for the lights, all heading into the attic at the central point.

Popping in the lights. You have to go steady with the hole saw when drilling these panels. And also the sprung clips on the lights can very easily split the panels.
