The week started with the completion of the battening that was required to support the plasterboard. And here’s a fun fact; take a guess at the approximate length of wooden components (rafters, joists, purlins, battens etc.) that has gone into this project so far (answer below*).
But once that was done, the next job was the plasterboard. All 1.7 tonnes of it. In sheets measuring 8ft x 4ft and weighing about 38kg each.

Next week: plastering! But first, here’s a picture of the team. Conrad (centre) with Gaz (left) and Jamie (right)
