Lots of interior work happening

The door frames from the last post are fitted, and very nice they look too!  They’ve been primed ready for painting and there is obviously work needed to plaster around them but it’s pleasing to see them in place at last.

We went, as usual, on Saturday morning to see the weeks work.  There was a builder on site, fitting the plasterboard to the attic.  With all the interior carpentry work this week for the first time we saw a less-than-spotless interior. 

 

For much of the house the wooden wall frames had been put up to mount the plasterboard (next week’s task).  In the attic a wall frame had been built along the gable end.  There was a pipe – the air from the bathroom – rising up along the wall at the right.  Initially we had thought of putting a half-height wall to hide the pipe, in the end we elected for a secondary wall along the whole height, with a cut-out above the top of the window so we can recess the blind fitting.

 

The cables for the lights are ready.  In the end we chose to use 5 lights, evenly spaced.  We couldn’t get six to fit nicely with the cross-supporting element.
