The Next Day

Being motivated I was up and out early.  I cleared the work area, and worked out a plan of action.  J-P reckoned I should plasterboard over the top of every thing, bringing the wall inwards by 2" - I think it would look cuter if the top wooden beam was showing - I won!

This is how it was at the start of the day.

It all worked out pretty well.  My biggest difficulty is moving the large sheets of plasterboard around in such a confined space. - There is also a front and back to these boards - white front, brown back, and as I'm not planning to cover them I've got to make sure the are around the right way.

The logistics of making spaces to manouver AND get to the space where I'm working is fun and games.  I can work on this side wall but need to put the 1st panel in under the beam, but if I block up under the beam I cant get from the front to the back of the garage! - so for the time being I'm just putting up 1 board in the corner, then I can start the side wall.

There is a bit of a gap at the bottom of the plasterboard, but the top is neat - this will be the only bit that will be visible as my big cupboard is going in front of this eventually.  The gap right at the very top, between the beam and the ceiling has to be boarded from the other side, but I reckon it looks ok WITH a bit of character.

I worked round the wall until I got to the patio doors.  Then thinking of logistics and lack of access to either sides,  I moved some of the plasterboard to the back of the garage - and the only place to put it was in front of the patio doors!

This was the state of play by the end of the day.
