We have had a very productive weekend. After deciding against using the very cheap ($100) Velux sky window for the kitchen due to space constraints we went for a Skydome similar to our existing skylight. With the hole in the roof and the skydome sitting in place it became obvious that the Velux had to come back into the plan as there was just not enough light. This meant cutting out two rafters and then boxing in to fit the sky window. A much longer process so it isn't finished yet. Enough was done to work out where the main Gyprock sheeting was going so on Sunday with Mark and Tony's help we got most of the new ceiling sheeted.
Prior to putting up the Gyprock it was necessary to put battens alongside each rafter to "true up" the ceiling line. Otherwise we would have had a very wavy ceiling.
With the scaffold propped over the stairs again we got the two sheets up in the highest part of the ceiling.
Looking good so far. Then it was on to the main ceiling, fitting insulation batts as we went.
Tony managed to turn insulation installation into performance art.
And that was the finish for the weekend. The blue sarking is where the sky window will be next weekend if the weather holds.
