I did manage to get a fair bit done despite having to work on the assignment. Much of the same though - just plugging away with the layers of drywall. I completed three layers on the front wall and two layers on the back wall, inside the alcoves. Mother's day on Sunday as well so only limited time then.
A Year On...
If you have been following this diary you might have noticed I have just passed a big milestone!! Well it's actually just passed a year since starting the project. I perhaps thought I might have had it completed by now but I was under no illusion that it was going to be a quick job, especially with my limited time available. Anyway, I am pleased to have remained completely positive during the project and focused on the goal. It has been a tremendous learning experience and one which will, I'm sure, follow me into other projects. Although my build is by no means a mammoth job it still requires a lot of planning and effort to move it along. I have still been able to spend time with my family and in fact my daughter has helped sweep up now and again - though that often resulted in the creation of more mess :-).
There is still a fair bit to go but I can certainly see the light now and my efforts have, I hope, been worthwhile. With only the top two layers of plasterboard to be fitted I guess I can say that the essentially the room was complete within a year. Though now is the interesting stage and apart from building the doors, or certainly the internal door at the moment, I am about to find out really how good this space will be acoustically. Being a very small room is always going to prove difficult in this regard so this may well be the most critical and tricky stage in order to create a well balanced space - we'll have to see! In the meantime, the jobs still to do: Doors, Ventilation silencers, Floor (including routing for cables), Corner treatments, Room measurements, Additional room treatments? and general finishing. Oh and not forgetting building the desk amongst other things!
A few more images added though it looks much the same as one drywall layer: >>photos<<
