First room lined

The en-suite from the outside

Laurence has finished the lining on the first room - our en-suite!  So ceilings and walls - they're all there.  And he's put in the cavity slider for the door, so we can now walk in and be in a complete room.  The en-suite is lined with villa board, not MDF, so we haven't had to do any pre-painting there.  Now we need to organise a stopper to come in and get moving with that so that Regan can start the water-proofing and then the tiling.  Yippee!  The en-suite faces due east, so we'll be bathed in beautiful morning light when we get ready for work.

Laurence has also been working on the villa board lining in the main bathroom.  He's got two of the four walls done now.  The frame for the bath will go in one of these days - again so that Regan can get cracking on the tiling.

View from en-suite

We've been working hard this week-end too.  Well, we tried on Saturday but it didn't really happen.  So we worked hard on Sunday.  We've been carrying on with our work on the acoustic ceiling panels - we've managed to put the black material on the back of some of them.  That means that we've got six panels completed - enough for Laurence to be able to put into the lounge ceiling.  There are six going into the lounge, but the sixth one has had to be recut as the position of the fireplace moved slightly from the original plans that we gave them.

Plywood wall in library

Laurence has also put a big plywood panel down the inside of the portion of the storage wall that will have the bookshelves in it (ie. the bit that will be in the library).  That has taken away the sightline from the bathroom and laundry through to the harbour, and is making the hallway feel more like a hallway now.  In the photo, you can see a blue steel beam at the bottom.  That will end up going above the plywood as there is a big triangular piece of glass going up in that gap.
