Even fitted a door!

Insulated plasterboard all now up on walls . Still got round the widows to do. Now started on internal partitions and doors.

plaster dabs.

First time ever using plaster dabs to fix plasterboard to walls. I spoke to a chap recently in a popular diy retailer, who had used dabs. He enthused about the positve "grab" achieved with the board adhesive. I was sceptical of his enthusiasm,  sceptic no more!!!! What a grip this stuff gets!!!
3 boards up, 8 to go.

Great progress last few days but no time to update blog!
The garage ceiling is now complete with  one layer of soundblock plasterboard.
Underfloor insulation is complete in upstairs rooms.
Upstairs rooms ceilings are nearly complete, just a couple of footery wee bits to do and flooring too is almost complete, just short of a couple of boards! Out of a box of 1000 plasterboard screws there are 40 left! I need to go buy another box!!!
Tomorrow is time consuming small  jobs like move boiler vent pipe and run pipe work for radiators

Scaffolding gone from front of house!

Windows!!!!!!
Front and rear,.

Garage ceiling half way dwanged for plasterboard. Windoe cills fitted and windows should be start of next week.

Roof now complete! Almost! One ridge clip broke on fitting  but apart from that ridge and verges in place. Gutters next!

In an attemp to make the valley gutters 100% dry fit instead of mortaring the tiles on, have wraped the batton ends in dpm.

Also both side now tiled. Photo only shows rear aspect due to finishing fromt in no light!

Just hsve front valley and both verges to trim also ridge and verges to fit, then roof is complete!

Had to buy 3m roll of lead flashing for saddle over the ridge between valleys.  Having used half a metre I am now the owner of 2.5m of lead I don't need!!!

Roof covered with marley breathable membrane.  There are 600mm strips of same under valley gutters, the membrane from the old and new roofs is overlapped the under valleys membrane as specified by the gutter manufacturers.
The front aspect of the new roof is counterbattoned and battoned ready to tile!

One valley gutter now in place. Went to the other one today and found still had some sheeting to finish. Hopefully second valley tomorrow.

Pointing well under way.

Scaffolding  now dismantled from inside and put up again  on outside to use for use for pointing of brickwork at weekend, weather permitting!
