Railroad room update!

December 1st, 2012

Finally, the first sheet of plywood goes up on the wall of the Railroad room! A fairly quick process, so hope to find some time in the next week to get as much done as possible.  Haven’t been able to do much the last few weeks due to the incredible amount of rain we’ve had, so nowhere to cut the wood.

Plywood wall

The window has been blocked up & insulation installed over that area, so it’s quite dark in there now which is a problem with these short days…can’t wait to get the walls finished so the electrician can install the lighting.

Another update coming soon.

Railroad room construction update

July 18th, 2012

I’ve now finished the wall insulation in the railroad room (garage).  The electrician has been and has done the first fix wiring and I have installed the final insulation panels to hide the wiring.  Next step will be boarding over the walls and starting on the roof insulation, then getting the electrician back to cut the holes for the sockets and to install the sockets and light switches.

So, progressing well, and should be done in a few weeks, time permitting!

Railroad room progressing well

June 12th, 2012

I’ve almost completed the stud wall framing in the garage – so far the floor is done, and most of the stud wall framing is up.  Next step is just to put stud wall in front of the old side door and across the window, which I will be boarding up.  Then I’ll be ready to get the electricians in to do the first fix wiring.
