Finally getting some walls clad, whilst was S cutting and installing the accoustic fiberglass
into the frame in the kitchen, I cut the OSB chipboard and then the (accoustic blue) plasterboard to go on top. That was a challenge in itself, as the kitchen wall is quite busy with water & waste pipes, as well as electrical & data outlets, the pic to the left shows the wall before the board goes up, the data outlet is on the right with the white tubing dropping from above.
I'd originally intended to do the wall with the smallest number of joints in the board possible, however a small element of doubt over the integrity of the waste pipe (turned out to be justified, I'd forgotten to glue one joint) caused me to rethink that plan and fit a removable panel over the waste pipe in the bottom right corner.
Most of the OSB was up by the end of saturday. S, having run out of walls to lag started removing the plaster from the chimney breast in the sitting room, she quickly found how effective the SDS drill is on this task, and had the wall bared in very little time. This will
enable us to batten and board the breast wasting as little space as possible, most the plaster was loose anyway, so now the board can be closer to the brickwork.
