Before we could start to plaster the bedroom, Mr H advised us that it would be best to plaster board the other side of the walls. Otherwise you might find that your new plaster cracks while you are busy hammering something on the other side of the wall. First up, we had to finalise were all of the wiring and light circuits needed to go and wire it all up.
Then Tina had to but all of the insulation in for soundproofing. We just used rock wool for this, but you can spend £40 or more per metre on specialist soundproofing,if you are worried that someone is going to set up a recording studio in the spare room.
As you can see, this work involved standing on a wobbly ladder next to the abyss. Not pleasant, but we are hardy souls and are used to it.
The bottom layer of plasterboard was quite straight forward.
The top of the wall needed scaffolding to reach.
Now it is starting to look more like a house in there, not just a barn.
