Putting up the final wall in the wee man's room

Blossom is still doing a good job sitting on her eggs, but she's set off her best friend Abigail, who is now sitting in the box too. The other girls have started laying in with Blossom and when I had a check on her today she's collected another clutch of eggs from the other girls. I had to mark all her original eggs up so I could remove the rest.

As for the weekend we made up the stud wall to finish off all the major building work in wee man's room. The original plan was to expose what was under the plywood board that was acting as the wall surface. Underneath was some 2 x 2 inch wood and we decided to add our 2 x 4 batons to the structure rather than take it down and risk pulling down the ceiling. 

The stud work as revealed when we took of the board.

We put in a new door frame too as the old one wasn't a door frame and made a step in the wall. We picked a standard size one to make choosing doors easier.

Once we'd made the stud work we infilled the gaps with 100mm Rockwoll to keep it warm and make it quieter. The original wall was just plywood on either side of the frame so it really lets sound through, it'll be great that we don't disturb the little man when he's in bed. 

Extra studding in along with the new doorframe

Sound insulation added. It had to be cut to go between the two stud walls.

On Saturday night we got the plasterboard up and in Sunday morning we added some more screws in and James plastered the wall. He's getting a pro now, it's really smooth.

It's dried really quickly so this evening I started on the long task of painting the walls.

Plastered!
