Finishing the utility room

Since the building of the sauna over the end of year vacation season, it has become pretty much a tradition to take on a bigger project to finish in a week.

This year the utility room was on the list. It still was waiting for a ceiling and the top pieces of the wall. Then plastering, glass fibre wall covering and painting.

There was a nice little puzzle around all the pipes that are going into the ceiling towards the rest of the house. I first drew it out on a spare piece of plaster board and once I had drilled the holes and had sawn it in pieces, I could fit it. After that I could transfer it to a full piece of plaster board and put it in. The rest of the ceiling was a breeze compared to that corner. As mentioned in the blog more then once, it instantly made a big difference.

Next I plastered all the seams and while that was drying I cut out a life size washing machine front from card board to check how high to place the washing machine. The platform I will have to build later, but at least I have some time to think about the design.

We used leftover paint from the hallway. The light yellow and bright green really transformed the ‘shed’ into a room. Another project finished.
