Update 16 OSB is in and I started with the drywall / plasterboard.
Recorded with the Pocket 2 (which has a  'true' portrait mode )!

Thanks for the progress report Monty

Getting there.

Nice progress Peter.  

Very nice update Peter.  You are really making quite a bit of progress.

Thanks for the progress report Monty

Keeping you up to date
And documenting the details in the process

Getting there.

In the end
There is so many small (and big) things to do. But I'll get there.

Nice progress Peter.

Thanks David.
This seems to take forever, but the end result looks good, so that's the focus.

Thanks Rich.
Takes a massive amount of time, but I'm happy with the result.

You're most welcome Peter. It does appear that you are putting in some quality work on the reno.  

I'm liking it.

I'm at least trying

Thanks.
I also really like the Pocket 2 for this quick stuff.

I would love to get a pocket for things like this.

Yeah, it's a great little camera!

It's taking time as you're concentrating on the quality and not just throwing it up like some others would.

That is part of the reason. Plus I'm not doing this daily

Just remember repetition is your friend.

DAFlys Posted at 11-17 05:46

By the time I'm reasonably good at it, the renovation will be done.
But I hope to keep some of that general DIY knowledge for the next one

Montfrooij Posted at 11-16 23:04

100% effort for sure.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 11-17 09:05
100% effort for sure.

Hahahahahaha. True.
Drywall / plasterboard is done
Last battens are in too.
Tomorrow I will continue insulating the ceiling and after that, time for the drywall on the ceiling.
That is going to be a massive task again.
I did buy a sheet lifter. I still have to put it together, but I think (hope) it will save me a lot of headache.

Enjoying the road Peter and looking forward to the end product.

You'll always carry these skills onto future projects.

Thanks. That is the plan indeed!

I think so, although I keep making the old mistakes when I start something again after a long time.

Excellent update Peter.  From personal experience I can say that the lifter saved us a lot of time and muscle aches.  It was well worth rental fee for us.  Drywalling a ceiling is no easy task, just be forewarned.

I hope this one will serve me well. Not feeling the time pressure of a rental is the main reason why I went for this solution.

No doubt it will.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 11-18 08:51
No doubt it will.

Just put it together.
I'm very curious to see how this will go.
But I will keep you updated
Not today btw. I'm putting in all the measurements from the beams.

Sounds like a plan.  I'll keep an eye out for your next update.

It will take some time as I can't lift the big sheets myself, but I hope to be getting 'there' soon

I hear you on that.  Too heavy for one person.

DowntownRDB Posted at 11-20 09:46

Yeah, the smaller ones are doable, but these break when one person tries to put them somewhere.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-20 13:28

No doubt and especially because of the size of them.

I'm always amazed how weak this stuff is, until you put it on the wall with some support.

Exactly, the longer the piece of sheet rock the more flemsy it gets and heavier it feels.

Yeah indeed!

Montfrooij Posted at 11-22 10:33
Yeah indeed!

I broke a sheet before I figured that out.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 11-22 10:56

Same here.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-22 23:22
Same here.

  So you learned the same lesson as I did then.
