29 & 30 April 2018
With three ceiling spaces to do and only two days to do them in - if we are to meet our self-imposed deadline of the end of April - we decided to try industrialising our process, and doing all three together. This is possible in the studio, as we have a flat cleared floor, so the ladder can be easily moved around.
So we measured all three spaces, trying hard not to get them muddled up, and cut (and marked) all the batons

So we measured all three spaces, trying hard not to get them muddled up, and cut (and marked) all the batons
While we waited for the paint on the batons to dry, we made the remaining three back boards, and stuffed the cavities with old pillow filling
End of Sunday, all the batons are fitted
Monday, while six drilled and sanded panels are spread out round the downstairs and outside while the paint dries, I staple up the insulation.
And hurrah! The boards go in pretty easily (we're getting better at this) and the job (barring a few bits of trim where the ceiling meets the wall) is done.
Time to catch a bit of sunshine, so we cycled down to the quay for a glass of wine to celebrate finishing to deadline.
Next, a month in the boatyard, then in June, we start on the big job: insulating the living room ceiling.
