1930s Semi Refurb - Part 12 of ... (New Bedroom)

[dlockers]

With the bathroom now sufficiently complete (~90%) I have lost interest and moved onto the summer house. But my wifes BF has sufficiently impregnated her so I have been told to finish this room first

Current state:

Plan:
1. Insulated plasterboard external walls
2. Overboard roof and block up loft hatch (unused)
3. De-plumb
4. New 22mm floor
5. Rewire (no sockets in here other than a shaver plug).

Pretty boring but thought I'd create a thread/par for the course. The roof is going to be annoying - any tips on finding something to nail into on the hip?

I'm so confused about your wife's BF

How do I get rid of that chipboard ceiling without expending a lot of energy? Are those chemical strippers anygood?

Not used a chemical stripper, but i don't think there's an easy method other than a long handled scraper

Maybe I just overboard and ignore it.... If I glue at the same time it'll never be "tight tight" to the roof anyway. Yes. Splendid idea.

I feel sorry for whoever buys your house after your wife runs off with her BF and you get a divorce and have to sell

Yes this needs more

Dependant on ceiling height, assuming you can accommodate 12.5mm + skim (say 15mm) ceiling height loss I'd just overboard the ceiling

I really wish I had your enthusiasm @dlockers !

Surely they can be skimmed with plaster? google suggests you can plaster a painted surface

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

its just woodchip wallpaper isn't it. If so its just as easy, if not easier, to remove than any other wallpaper.
Although I would just overboard as suggested, as long as they are using mechanical and not chemical fixing.

Probably, i was just always of the belief it wasn't a wise solution to plaster over wallpaper

please specify if BF stands for best friend or boyfriend and whether you mean impregnated in the literal sense or the "with an idea" sense.....

Feeling pretty run down but gear has arrived..........

I decided to go ahead and insulate the external walls, the same as the bathroom. It has made such a mega difference we haven't noticed the heating not being on in there at all. "Dodgy" yard came through again, £265 for 6x T&G 22mm, 4x 12mm, and 4x Insulated Plasterboard (delivered).

He is coming May 7th with the summer house load
