Continuation

This week was just a continuation from the previous.

Tarja is still working on the internal walls, getting them ready for final decoration, be it painted or papering, a very time consuming job, she should be ready next week sometime.

I just carried on, doing the finals on the outside, mainly the corner boards, window boards and the two round pillars we have on the back terrace.

Whenever it started to rain, I just moved indoors and found something to occupy myself with.

Preparation of the pillar, plywood sablon, cut to the right diameter, this is for the panel to be nailed to, there are 5 on each pillar.First couple of panels in place.Nailing it fast.Almost there.The finished article. Later on a treated timber decking will be laid out in this area.front porch, window decoration in place.

Stone effect tiles, these are on one of the Sauna walls, the heater will be placed against this wall.Close up of the tiles.The finished wall.

This is the last of the tiling that can be done at the moment, we must hire some dryers, the reason being, there is still a lot of moisture in the floor, the air humidity is also relatively high at this time, no where for the moisture to evaporate into, we cannot do any waterproofing until the base is quite dry, about 1½%, so quite a ways to go. probably need the dryers for about 3 weeks.

Still, there is plenty to be getting on with, the ceilings can be panelled, just as soon as Tarja has finished painting, the Sauna can be made, just have to get to the timber yard and collect the materials required.

Things are still on track, not fell behind schedule yet, hard to believe, the floor was only laid 5 weeks ago.
