Girls sawing.... need I say more!


April Update Weeks 52-53

Bit of a milestone- we have now worked on the barn for over a year, and we certainly have the scars and blisters to show for it! But as you can see it really is taking shape inside now.

Easter weekend was spent putting in the last few partitions and upstairs ceilings with the help of Dave (brother) and Surinder.

March Update Weeks 50-51

As a break from partitioning we started insulating the roof this week. Using Tri-Iso Super 10 (which reduces the thickness of insulation required whilst achieving the same U-value) and another newly acquired power tool- an electric stapling gun we insulated the whole roof space in 3 days.

Another delivery of 50 lengths of 4 by 2 later and we were back to partitioning, this time battoning out the ceilings and roof voids ready for plaster boarding.

We also managed to fit the majority of the internal oak door linings.

Feb/March Update - Weeks 48-49

Work continued on the mammoth task of partitioning the barn. The majority of work being upstairs and around the awkward windows and entrances.

The little slit openings that originally were head height downstairs have to fall between the floors due to their length.So we now have a mini windows at floor height in bedroom 3 and in the lounge providing some needed daylight.

By the end of these two weeks all the upstairs rooms were taking shape so we were able to fit all the electric backing boxes for switches and sockets.
