Bulkheads

It was time to get rid of the wall at the end of the hallway so down came the Gyprock. Quite a messy job with all the stuff that accumulated inside the wall from generations of rodents and others. The worst thing about it was that with the wall gone, it became obvious that the beam and ceiling each side of the wall were at different heights !  Why did we do that ? That's more work that I wasn't expecting.

It was then decided to start on the bulkheads. We have been demolishing for a while now so constructing something seemed like a good idea. Fortunately we have Brian's scaffolding to help with this so we assembled that and then started the set out for the beams using a new fangled laser level and an old fangled piece of string. Brian's nail gun was also very handy.

 

By the end of the weekend we had two beams up and yet another re-arrangement of the remaining kitchen cupboards. Those champagne glasses look a bit vulnerable. I think I'll have to replace that prop with something a bit more substantial.
