We have nearly all the wallboard in place.

Downlights are in and we have been priming the wallboard.IMG_7642    IMG_7643

Some more sparky work has been done. The IXL is actually complete, but that will have to wait for the next photo session.

It turns out I printed out the wrong data sheet for our waterproofing gear. For half the bathroom we have used the wrong primer! This is one section which is starting to peal! Kinda looks like a kookaburra… Hopefully the tiles dont fall off the sections incorrectly primed…

Trudging along

Hey Yall,

Chewy came to visit his future home today even though the fence hasn’t been fixed. His adopted family are in Europe for a month, so we brought him over so he wouldn’t be lonely!
