The inside is taking shape....

.... with every bit of plasterboard. We have hired a nifty piece of kit to help R - cheaper and less likely to hammer nails in the wrong place than a labourer.


Here it is - you put the board onto it and wind it up to the ceiling, then start on the lower part and screw it it - voila. Himself is aiming for 16 boards a day and did 10 yesterday - not bad for the first day. Plus he has to put some bits at a slant on the sloping ceiling.

What else? we now have first fix electrics and plumbing done and most of the ventilation system, seen here
- lots of shiny pipes, very lightweight and easy to fix. I have a bit of a tic about ventilation and so I'll be monitoring indoor air quality.

Wednesday
The ceiling for one side of the first floor is now complete, together with a hole in the ceiling for loft access from Emily's room.
