Apart from attaching a couple of small pieces of drywall in the alcoves, Saturday was spent conducting the electrical inspection of the circuits in the studio. we did a thorough inspection even checking the existing circuits in the garage itself. All went pretty well though there is an area that will need some attention in the future. When conducting the earth fault impedance test we were getting quite a high reading. Upon further inspection we determined that the garage is earthed via an earth rod driven into the ground between the garage and the studio. In this situation a different set of guidelines are used and essentially it meets with the current regulations. Though there is a guidance note that if the reading is above a certain amount the earth may need attention. No big deal as everything is essentially safe and I'll probably have a look at the earth rod later.
On Sunday I went about lining the rest of the alcoves. This was quite fiddly with a number of odd shaped pieces that needed to be cut. This took a little while but in the end I did manage to get the alcoves covered. I was hoping to get the door frame wall covered as well but this didn't quite happen. Though it may be for the best because I need to have a look at the stud wall around the door. The last upright I put into the wall was heavily bent and as a result there is a bow slightly into the airlock space. To ensure that the internal wall does not bow in I'm going to pack out the offending stud. It's not a major deal but it shouldn't take too long to make a spacer and blend it using a plane. So I think it is better for me to look at this on a clear day when I have time to tidy this up before dry-lining over the top. >>photos<<
