Rooms emerge

It's now the end of June. Progress has been slow, but internal walls are in place. The plaquistes erected metal drywall studs. Wiring and plumbing has been pulled through them.


 
The plaquistes work was labour-intensive. The drywall had to be cut to fit acute angles around the beams and schlepped up ladders as high as 5 metres. When we discovered our ceilings would be this tall, Henny and I made the decision not to take the internal walls of the bathroom and the dressing area with them. These walls stop at about 2m70 so you can see the skylight and the beams unbroken by walls. The jointers have just finished an intensive week. Now the owner's suite (as dubbed by our friend Colleen) looks like this.



The studio has moved on too. The blue plasterboard is acoustic. It won't be soundproof, but I hope it helps contain my practicing. I can hardly believe this used to be the garage.
