Plaster Boarding continuing into 2013

Happy New Year to everyone!

It's been a while since the last update and to be honest things have been only slowly progressing over December.

Plasterboarding continues with the master bedroom and utility room now completed and plaster board on the ceilings in a couple other rooms as well. The GSHP is still working fine and the underfloor heating is starting to dry out the screed, especially in the rooms on the north side of the house.

Kitchen

We did have the electricians back to fit light switch and socket back boxes in the completed rooms so the plaster can get going when he becomes available later in January.

Heidi & I are busy working out what we will do in the bathrooms for floor tiles and shower enclosures and tiles for the floor in the hall, kitchen and utility room. Luckily we are thinking along similar lines although there are one or two areas where we have different opinions. We have been using the lighting design software, Relux Pro, as a 3D visulisation tool which has been really useful to see how colours. We are making good progress and hopefully can finalise soon so we get get the materials delivered when we are all back in Easter.

My next trip over is in 3 weeks. There is plenty of things to be done still to fully complete the various sytems I have been working on having done only what was absolutely necesssary to allow plasterboarding to keep going.
