If you recall, last time I had finished slating the roof. I decided to insulate it next, although were a number of other jobs I could have done first. Using 75mm Celotex, I cut the boards 5 to 10mm undersized, forced them against a rafter one side with wedges, and then foamed up the gap:
That was a solid couple of days of work, believe it or not. Next, with the glazing on order and due to arrive soon, I ran up 60 or 70 metres of beading with which to hold it in place, and a cill bead of a slightly different profile:
That was pretty dull stuff, with a few hours on the bandsaw and planer thicknesser, and some rounding over (and coving for a drip) on the router table, after those photos were taken. Not my sort of woodwork.......
Another rather unpleasant job was painting Black Jack (liquid damp product) on the inside of the plinth. Those of you who remember the details from a year ago (!) might recall that this outshot is built on a slab, and on one side is a couple of feet below ground level, so the damp-proofing/ tanking was an awkward detail and very important:
The following photo shows the first fix wiring for the lights.....sort of. We are going to have one central light, but in case that isn't enough, I am have left cables in place which I can drill for and use for downlights. Their location is noted on the wall, because once buried by plasterboard I'm bound to forget where I put them:
The two horizontal members at the top of the sloped ceiling are to take a short width of horizontal ceiling, as a sloped ceiling running directly up to a vertical wall is very hard to plaster, and looks a bit second-best, in my view.
