week 35: pablo in the lab, lights going in up stairs, battens ready for flooring...

This week Pablo has been helping me out stain the remaining boards in the 'meth lab' as the downstairs bedroom has become known for the fumes it gives off whilst staining is going on. Luckily we have carbon masks.


The canopy has been epdm'ed and is now having its cedar cladding installed.

Zac and Tommy have been installing battens on which I can lay the floorboards. This is a nightmare of a job as they have to correct the lack of flatness in the slab so every batten is individually packed up to meet a datum level. Seeing as I am writing this a little retrospectively I can say they did a great job which made laying the flooring very easy.  

Thea has been onsite helping us select some site music!

The first bit of flooring has now been laid by Doug and I at the top of the stairs. 

Finally the plasterers are back to render the back wall! These jobs are great to see as they really help make the house a lot less like a building site and more like a house.
