Lots of different things going on today starting with Mark and Sid studding on the outside wall of the second bedroom. The plasterboard was then fixed. This gap and an air vent will allow air to circulate and any moisture in the wall will dry out. Once the plasterboard was fixed, Mike was able to skim the ceiling and the underside of the stairs. Some top coat plaster was also applied to parts of the staircase to the loft.












All remaining plastering was completed in the loft room, then Mark fitted the remaining skirting board and architrave.












Other jobs done today included the outside soffits around the dormer being fitted and the lead around the new dormer windows was oiled to prevent future discolouration. The crack where the cement fillet meets the outside wall where the extension joins the old cottage has been cleaned out, sealed and sprayed with two coats of silicone.

Fred was busy finishing stripping the wallpaper but found some gloss paint under the wallpaper on the stairs which will be removed with Nitromors. He also started sanding down the new dried plaster in the loft ready for painting with the mist coat.

The sheet vinyl was laid in the en-suite today ready for fitting out when the sanitary ware and shower cubicle arrive on Monday.

Our delivery of the toilet for the main bathroom and the border tiles didn't happen today due to a mix up in the despatch department at the suppliers - this is now scheduled for delivery on Friday.
