Our bedroom is currently back to brick and floorboards and I want to make sure I do things in the right order.
So far, first fix electrics and plumbing is done.
The plan is:
- Overboard floorboards with 12mm ply
- Overboard ceiling with 12mm plasterboard
- Fill gaps between door frame and walls
- Batten walls, insulate and plasterboard walls
- Fit new windowsill
- Skim
- Flooring down
- Second fix electrics
- skirting, architrave
- Decorate
Main thought is around whether to overboard the floors before or after battening the walls.
It makes sense to do the floor first but access will be an absolute nightmare if some of the board goes under the battens / plasterboard. I'm thinking I'll bring the screws on the flooring away from the walls enough so they are accessible and leave a small gap between batten and floor, so the only can be lifted.
I'm sure I've also missed bits that I should be doing at this point.
Thoughts?
