We have started to build the studwork upstairs that will form the family bathroom.  The other part of this space will be a (large) bedroom.

The partitions are tall – they go right up into the apex of the roof with all the roof timbers being exposed.  The purlins have worked out really well in terms of positioning and I am hoping that this is going to make the plasterer’s job a little bit easy.

Strangely enough now the partitions are going up, the space feels larger.  I was concerned that the bathroom was going to be a bit small, but as the joiner said “in a normal house, this is the size of a bedroom!”.  So maybe it is not so small after all.

The new bathroom is the other side of this very tall partition.

The upstairs partition are starting to go in.  This will be a bedroom and bathroom. This was taken before Zep rolled in the sawdust.
