No Days Off!

Because we want to get to the stage when the plumber and electrician can supply us with water and electricity, we obtained the services of a friend to help us build the walls for the downstairs bedroom/shower-room/ boiler room. I set things up (cement, sand, blocks etc.) on Saturday, and this morning we began just after 8am. By 4pm the walls were two thirds the way up. Apart from running out of time (and energy), it wasn't safe to take the walls any higher. We need to let the mortar set. The plan is to finish off over next weekend.

This is where the Electrical Consumer Unit will go!

Sue in the Shower Room looking for inspiration.
We're planning to 'glue' sheets of plasterboard with an insulated backing straight onto the blocks. Sue is most concerned that guests in the bedroom aren't woken up by the boiler next door to them.
We're certainly learning a lot in a short space of time.
