Progress Indeed

Here's the latest photos sent over from France kindly taken by our builder Tony. They were taken a week or so ago and show the first floor bedrooms and bathroom spaces taking shape together with the first fix electrics. All the walls are being formed in the metal studwork that was the subject of one of my first blogs.

 
The sloping parts of the ceiling have been insulated and plasterboard fixed to these areas. I noticed something in the photographs that appeared to look like a trestle but after a bit more of looking at I worked out that it was a piece of equipment that is used to load a sheet of plasterboard on then it is mechanically raised to the ceiling for fixing. This certainly takes the back breaking work out of the operation. These can be purchased or hired and the link below will take you to a typical site.

I am hoping for some more photographs to be sent this week so will do another post soon. If you missed my blog on the studwall you can find it on the listing on the right for Saturday, 27 November 2010
