So after a marathon effort all the plasterboard sheets are now connected to walls or ceilings. The culmination to this saw the herculean task of sheeting the raked ceiling area over the last two days. Installing the raked ceiling was not without dramas. Having the sheet lifter breakdown at 7pm when you are on a roll and have yourself set to finish the first half that night is pretty soul destroying. Getting the sheets into place and attaching them would be impossible without the sheet lifter as we quickly discovered. Thankfully we were able to get a replacement lifter the next morning and with some improvements in our system we powered through and finished the job.
Now comes the job of flushing (filling in all the joints with tape and plaster to produce a smooth finish), installing door frames and cornices. Flushing a house this size would normally take us weeks but we lashed out and purchased some top end flat box finishing tools and an auto taper. This should speed things up significantly as well as leading to a better finish than we could achieve with a trowel
