Week 12 - Wires and Ceilings.

Week Twelve 3 - 8 Dec

Day 53 - 55.    The first three days this week the rest of the wall and ceiling wiring and ducting went in.  During the rough in we identified some additional powerpoints we wanted around the place so was able to arrange this, this included some powerpoints in the ceiling for P to use when we put his workshop in as well as getting the powerpoint outlet for this three phase point.

In addition to that I also had a special switch to turn off the powerpoints in the games room already allowed for - this is so I don't have to go scrambling behind the wall unit to try and turn them off.  We realised it would also be a good idea to have the same thing in the living room so I put one in there too. 

Tip - If you have power-points that will be hard to get to but will service a lot of "stand by" devices consider a switch on the wall to be able to turn them off.

Day 56 -57.    The first lot of bricks arrived and the colour looks great.   Pink batts for the ceiling and the plaster board have also been delivered.

 

 

 

The wiring and all the other ducting and pipes were finished.  I was given a tip to take photos and map where all the utilities are in the house so that if in the future we need to access any of it or want to put something on the walls and want to ensure I miss the wires and pipes.

 

Tip - Take photos of your wall wiring and pipes etc before the plasterboard goes up for future reference.

 
















 

The end of the week ended with the commencement of the installation of the ceiling panels, it makes such a difference to the rooms and they are really starting to look like proper rooms now.
