Getting closer

Cian was here again this weekend and it is always handy for Daithi to have an extra pair of hands to do some work although they do like to have long breaks for lunch etc.

All the stud work is now complete downstairs and part of upstairs too. The stairwell was a bit of a pain because it required some of the steel to be joined together to make the height. I was promoted to drill operator to screw the steel studs together while the lads kept them in place. I wasn't too bad at it either and was quite proud of my self!

The wiring has been completed for the two front reception rooms now so all that is needed to finish them is to put more insulation between the studs, then plasterboard and then plaster. We have a couple of numbers for decent plasterers in the Youghal area and are waiting to hear back from them. We shall see from their keenness if the recession is starting to bite..... My next job is to get my bath so I am off to buy it from a shop on ebay. Daithi is a bit sceptical about it but it looks exactly like what I want and the price is good too. I will post more details if I am successful.
