Onto insulating again

Another day done and time to write about it - it's been a good day of progress upstairs.

First of all I popped up to see just how far the men had got yesterday and they had done all but a very small area by the window. First thing the day promised a bit of sunshine but that did not last and it has been mainly overcast and horrible all day. When the men were in I set them to finishing up the cement work, so that final bit from yesterday and down the left hand storage area, and this involved more channeling and drilling for electrics which was very loud being almost directly above my head. With that done they completed the cement up to the agreed point and then they moved onto insulating the roof and putting up plasterboard further into the roof. The purpose here is to get this area done with the plasterboard so they can then build the block walls that are going here. They have found that some of the beams (not put up with any real thought to being boarded, and also having twisted quite a lot over the past eight years) were not very straight and there was quite some effort trimming some down to size. Still, they made some good progress and will be back on this task tomorrow again.

So there it is; a short update but good progress. Thanks for reading, back tomorrow.
