More on the Nursery

We've had a really good, successful day. We started on the wall with the insulation on it. I've cut the left hand board a little narrow which we're going to be to fix later. The board on the right was better, even with the angle cut out of it. That angle cut has been very handy. The line follows down into that right hand corner so we will be able to cut out a square section for that corner. It is also of course a mirror for the opposite wall, which made cutting that board far easier and took out some of the guess work.

The side walls were very easy. The boards are 4ft by 8ft. The left hand wall was slightly larger than 8ft by 8ft. The right hand wall is 8ft by 4ft.

The only complications arose from the wall sockets the electricians had put on the studs, and that none of the walls are quite straight. The first board we put up, we'd completely forgotten the box and we'd made a little bit of a mess trying to find it after we'd screwed it to the wall. We learnt from that mistake and measured up the other boxes. We've still got the last wall to do with the door in it, and filling in the wall with the window in it.
