Back onto the kitchen

It's been a long time coming but work is again underway in my kitchen. For various reasons work has been delayed but mainly down to getting insulated plasterboard of the size i want. My ceiling height is just over 2.4 meters high and a normal board would have left me with a gap i would have had to fill. I have now been able to get the boards that go from floor to ceiling nicely.

A friend to take me to get them but the day started of badly, his van ran out of diesel just close to his home. After getting more diesel we were of and soon had the boards and arrived home. To store the boards they had to go on the floor of the kitchen but here we go a but. The room is 2650mm wide and the boards are 2600mm long, so that leaves me with just 50mm so i have to be careful moving the boards to cut them for putting up on the wall.

I had a thin batten that i cut down to the size i need to go on the wall and it worked great but and another but the back of each sheet is the insulation so cutting with a Stanley blade only cuts the board. Next you have to cut from the other side the insulation. It's easy when you have the room to do it only i have only 50mm spare but i got it cut and the picture below shows the first board up in position. Now all i need to do is the rest.

Watch this space as they say.


Below is Day two more walls and panels done.


















 Board up and even the electric cable is through.


















Ready for the finishing touch's and ready for the sill and window trims.
