  • Apologies for the shite pictures, I only remembered to take them as the sun was setting.

    So since last time:

    1. I've installed a window. This was surprisingly more straight forward than I was expecting.
    2. Screwed battens and counter battens in line with the studs all the way around
    3. Started cladding the underside of the overhang. This is the only "horizontal" cladding the buidling will have. Nailing upside down is a pain in the ass, my wrist hurts. Also, I should have started on the fascia side as the last strip is proving a bit problematic to get tight.
    4. Wall insulation. Oh my days this is a long horrible and incredibly messy job. I'm glad I have a powered respirator as you don't want to be inhaling this stuff. Cutting them to fit snugly has proven to be too annoying and take too long so I've settled for cutting them 5mm small and filling the gaps with expanding foam.

    Not much else to report. Our baby is due in two weeks. This ain't getting done in time.

  • My dad has helped me out with this quite a bit and it's been a blast. As soon as mini me figures out how to use a hammer I'm putting him to work.
