How are you going to finish the wall, plaster or boarded?Started the wall from hell
First time I've had a hoe in the bedroom
What "man jobs" have you done today?
- Thread starter jaybee
- Start date
After insulating it will be square edge plaster boarded, sealed and I'll check the finish and if not happy, I have a thick lining paper I can finish with.
Ok, similar to what I need to do on a few walls
It's coming off much better than I expected and being able to brush the plaster straight under the floor is an added bonus. Lath is being taken out to be burnt at a later date.
The batons are the right depth for the plasterboard, just a bit of fixing here and there with the brick screws + will have to add 1 length of baton per board, due to the widths not matching.
Again not 'Today' but the Last 3 days and we got it finished except a few bits after the sparky has been. This was a 'Make good' project as the lady didn't have a lot of money and everything we took down, something else fell down too so we could have kept going but we had to draw the line and where she told us to stop. Shame really but that's the way it goes.
Insulated the studwork and ceiling with some old celotex free of marketplace
Plasterboard and scrim taped it all.
Skimmed it all and painted bitumen on the walls for a bit of extra water ingress protection.
Fitted a new gate and posts.
Put the remaining 4 panels in that were late being delivered and took a sneaky shot of how much garden she lost for her. You can't see the stumps now but he will find them if he takes the old fence down
Bricked up the old doorway and put the battens on for the cladding.
Cladding done. I had to use the old fascia as she didn't want to buy a new bit Fitted the outside tap too but I'm going to replace the bit of wood holding the tap for something better.
New guttering on, not ideal but she wanted it exactly like it was. I also need to extend it 300mm towards the fascia as I didn't have a union but she told "It will be fine" but I'm going to do it anyway

Finally got a tree stump out of the garden. It was near the internal right angle of an old pond wall (that's also quite nice so we're keeping it), so I could only dig out about 60% with a combination of spade, trowel and mattock. Chopped a bunch of roots with an axe. Eventually managed to get a farm jack underneath it and with a lot of brute force managed to jack it up to expose... more roots. Made short work of those with a saw.
Bit of a mission!
