Roof Insulation - Week 2

We fitted the insulation into the frame and covered it in a thin menbrane, the next step will be to clad the ceiling in plasterboard beofre finishing off.

The wall into the landing isn't full height so we've filled the gap with insulation and we'll plasterboard the wall to give the impression it does go full height!

The other option is to rip out the ceiling in the landing so it goes right to the roof - we've decided this can wait until we do the whole roof........ we can then have a sky light letting natural light into the top of the house.

Roof Insulation - Week 1

Last weekend we stripped off the cladding and 1cm (!) of insulation on one side of the loft so you could see the underside of the tile before building a frame for the British Gas insulation to sit in.

The big pile of cladding and other off cuts of timber will be sawn up into wood burner sized bits so we have fuel for the stove that will hopefully go in the sitting room by Christmas.

Middle Loo

Not the most glamourous post but I spent yesterday plasterboarding the middle loo.... much easier then plastering over the ridiculous artex! Please note the special access to the service valve which will eventually be covered over by a picture.

Facade and Windows

Emma has been sanding stone work and window frames this and last weekend - the painted stone work is a vast improvment, and now we've got the paint the windows will be as well soon.

Gardening

Emma ripped all the old tomato plants out and replaced them with some new ones after our trip to Gare du Midi this morning.

After some slightly more hardcore gardening I wrecked the spade - bent the wrong way and a split that shouldn't be there at the bottom of the handle.... we'll be havign an arguement with the man in brico one night this week then tryign to get a new one.... one the plus side most of the retro edging has been removed.

1st Floor Bathroom

Hopefully the first video worked........ there is another, this time of the first floor bathroom.

Top Bathroom

A first for BeeckmanTowers - a video - I think its the best way to see all the elements of the bathrooms we finished a couple of months ago. Basin, Mirror, Bath, Shower. Just need to build in the cupboard.
