First photo is a catch-up on the shower room in the first upstairs bedroom we finished earlier last year. Can't picture all in one but you can just see the edge of the shower to the left of the picture.
OK - this is the room over the shop, just before we cleared the decks and started to lay the pine-plank floor. As you can see, we have finished insulating the roof - makes it possible to work in there in the winter, and even add a bit of heat from time to time.
The pink stuff, foreground, picture below, is extruded polystyrene which we have used to insulate the old doorway - there isn't enough thickness to use glass wool. The heap of wood is the flooring, yet to be laid. These pictures were taken on new years day 2008.
The next two pictures are where we are up to now. The floor is laid and sealed, the partition wall studding for the bedroom and shower room is up, with the doors in place. We have dry-lined the end wall with "
doublage" ie plasterboard backed with 40mm polystyrene. Next job is to finish the plumbing and electric cabling before we plasterboard the walls and tongue-and-groove the ceiling
You can see the bookshelves in the picture above. These will be set into the wall of the living area, ie built-in. In the picture below you can just see the two tiny windows that used to be for the pigeons in the end wall (over the shop door). They are now glazed on the inside, between the wall and the doublage. I will add a second sheet of glass to the outside end of the holes when the weather gets a bit warmer.
Thats all for now - Too busy to post too often!
