After a wasted weekend last week (everybody was sick) Uli and I got back to working on the living room floor today. The western 60 square metres of the floor was relatively easy to lay - as the joists were all laser leveled. Today we had to work on the eastern part - where the bathroom and the kitchen will be. The OSB boards were laid directly on the old floorboards. Those floorboards were not exactly level, so a lot of time was spent making sure that each board was level in itself, and also relatively level in the overall context of the floor. It wasn't easy. We still managed to get quite a bit done. We also started on the last two rows (southward) on the main living room floor.
When Uli had to go playing cards at about 15:00, I went working on the ceilings in the bedrooms. The plaster had been taken down already (I did this last month) but the ceilings were still covered in reeds. These reeds were the base for the plaster. They are held in place by a network of wires. The wires are nailed to the timber ceiling with l-shaped nails. I had to pull all of the nails to get rid of the reeds. It took about two hours to get Eileen's ceiling cleared of nails. Half an hour later the hall was done as well.
That's all for today! Below is a picture of the ceiling in Eileen's room, cleared of nails and reeds.
