Utility room walls
Thursday, 9th August: I first built the frame on the door wall...
Cut a piece of plasterboard to size and cut holes for the light switch and power point.
I then nailed the board to the frame...
I finished by building the frame around the door and adding the plasterboard. All I need to do is fill holes and sand and add plasterboard around the edge of the door.
Friday, 10th August: Spent the day plastering, filling and sanding.
I also added the architrave around the back door.
Saturday, 11th August: Filing and sanding, filling and sanding.
The only light relief came from fitting the architrave around the ceiling access hole.
Nearly there though!
Monday, 13th August: I painted the ceiling white today.

I ordered the 22mm double glazing units for the windows today - it'll take a week and then I can finish the windows.

And...
Painted the woodwork with white gloss paint.
Friday, 17th August: I gave the walls an initial coat of emulsion.
I also added some of the wall cladding so that I could get the radiator it it's final position.
Saturday, 18th August: I fitted the utility room light and the extractor fan (as required by by the Building Regulations Surveyor today.
I also had to use an energy saving bulb - again for the Building Regulations Surveyor.
The string on the left is the extractor on/off pull.

I'm very happy with the result.
