Another week gone. We have managed to do the framing and insulation in front of the old fireplace. Then we routed the electrical wiring for five plugs. I don't want to run out of sockets. We have also fitted two sheets of plasterboard to that wall. Then we fitted the plasterboard against the internal wall, next to the door. It does not sound much, but there was a lot of work to get rid of rotten and unwanted timber.

I have also started work on a niche next to the fireplaces for the proposed gas water heater. That will take a lot of time. Currently I have only removed some short lengths of weatherboard. Now at least I have a crawlspace to get in there.

This picture shows the wall between the original kitchen and the dining room The innsulation showing was fitted when we installed the large folding doors. The weatherboard showing was original and in the original colour.

From the last picture it is clear that the door to the old kitchen was cut from the original framing. I always had an idea that there has  been a door originally. So we learn.

My rate of work has gone down a bit, I ascribe it to the wintry season.Elna is of invaluable help to me.

Sometimes I wonder if I am wasting my time. Only one person read the blog last week?
