With the plasterers starting tomorrow, the materials arrived today ready for them to start. There are 120 boards on the right. This is about 80% of what will be needed – we will order the remainder once we know exactly how much more we need.
The insulated plasterboard is for the inside of the exterior walls (remember these are solid walls with no cavity) and for the first floor ceiling. The insulation in the yellow bags is for the inside of the partitions (for soundproofing) and in the ceiling on the ground floor (to ensure that the heat rises from the underfloor heating).
There are 50 bags of plaster here. With rain forecast for tomorrow, we can’t leave it outside overnight.
The plasterers are due to start tomorrow and much of the materials that we have ordered for them turned up today.
Unloading them from the lorries wasn’t too much of a pain (it was all on palets), however, it had to be manhandled into the house – with 150 sheets of plasterboard and 50 bags of plaster, this takes time!
Still it is all indoors now ready for tomorrow.
