The first fix electrics completed yesterday – 3 days late. The plasterers started today.
The first job is to boarded out all of the walls, ceilings and partitions. Once this is done, the walls and ceilings will be plastered.
Upstairs insulated plasterboards (50mm insulation on a 12.5 plasterboard) is used on the ceilings. This is on top of the 50mm insulation that has already been installed between the rafters. The boards are cut to exactly fit the purlins leaving them exposed in the room below. This is a very time-consuming job and these ceilings alone are going to take the best part of a week to complete.
The partition to the bathroom has been boarded. The inside of the partition is packed with isolation (for soundproofing) before the other side is boarded.
The rafters are going to be covered but the purlins will still be largely expose through the plasterboard. Since the purlins are odd shapes (some odder than others), all of the boards have to be cut individually.
The exterior wall is still to be boarded with insulated plasterboard, but we should get this done tomorrow.
