Ceilings

With the deadline of the staircase arriving we have pulled our fingers out this week by finishing off the connections into the soil stack for the waste pipes upstairs and constructed three suspended ceilings; one of which has been plasterboarded and had the electrics installed for the lights. I'm very pleased with this weeks work.

The photo shows, quite literally, the suspended ceiling over the 3m by 3m open plan kitchen in the gite. The wooden joists, 200 by 32, running front to back support the metal rail system which the plasterboard is screwed to. The remainder of the downstairs is open plan with the full height of the ceiling exposing the old oak beams. You can just about see above the ceiling where I stopped cleaning the beams.

I getting the hang of loft hatches now I've finished the fifth one.
