Front Bedroom done.
Before and after photos showing the improvement. The sharp eyed amongst you will notice the floor looks a bit AI. That's right it is still yellow tongue flooring and carpet will be installed last. *The room was stripped to bare timber with stud work straightened. Timber structure has been protected from moisture and white ants through the installation of barriers between bearer and brick stumps. *The room is fully insulated with sound and temperature earth wool. Moisture barrier paper has been fitted to protect the wall cavity from that cold Ballarat winter, underfloor insulation keeps the floor warmer. *New sheet plaster, cornice and ceiling rose installed and changes to the window surround with the elimination of timber window reveal and instillation of a cleaner plaster finish.
*Finally data and free to air cable, a reverse cycle AC and new wiring. *Jobs still to complete include in-built wardrobe, double glazing, carpet and new bedroom door to match window timber work. *Time to move to the next room and do it all again.
