Carpet is fully fitted, although now covered in dust sheets.Skirting is fully fitted.The window was been full stripped of loose paint, which was most of it, sanding, primed / undercoated and now has its first coat of white gloss paint.

Office 13 – The big build 3
There was a plan to do a video for the last night, but I forgot. Never mind, here it is. So another busy day, regularly interrupted by deliveries of parts. First thing was to get six sheets of plaster board from Wickes. Get back and get on with dry lining the remainder of the office. […]
Office 12 – The big build 2
The plan today is to get the battens completed (I think that was the plan yesterday but I got distracted and did other stuff, so no actual loss). I would like to be in a position to get the next batch of plaster board. Unfortunately it is raining today and as the plaster board has […]
Office 11 – The big build 1
After yesterdays full on building work now its on to day 2. The day started with pulling the Ethernet cables into the house attic. This proved to be more difficult than it should be, given that I have done this kind of work before. The A frame design on the roof means that there is […]

Its been a while since my last update. I’ve just been so busy with the job. So lets look at the progress since the last update. Easiest way is a video.

Office 9
It’s been a little while, mainly because I have been busy with other things, then with the office, then I’m too tired to do anything else. Actually tonight is sort of a night off as it’s all catching up with me. Not that nothing has been done today. I have collected 50 x 500mm sq […]
Office 8
Part 2 – I managed to loose part 1 entirely! JARVIS!!!! Bought a load of kit this morning, including electrics and flooring. The flooring proved interesting as I discovered that the small board attic flooring system was a lot cheaper and, as far as I could see, fit for purpose. Got the wire loom for […]
Office 7
Busy, busy, busy. So I started the day putting the insulation above the ceiling, then fitted some of the attic floor. Then I spent some good time running in the power feeds from the Distribution board to the office location. I ran two 2.5mm T&E for the power ring main, and a single 1.5mm T&E […]
Office 6
The ceiling is up after a hard afternoons struggle. The floor boards are stacked up in the roof space. Insulation bought tonight, along with 15 stud timbers and 10 baton timbers. One light has a power cable available.
