It's going to get cold soon, and I've been putting off the big works for a bit
(mostly because I've been quite busy on the week-ends lately). But now that the new
kegerator is operational, it's time to focus on making the brewery livable for the
winter!
So this week-end I had a friend come over to help me, and we added rockwool insulation
to the rear wall of the brewery, in addition to removing almost everything that was
inside the garage.
Vapour barrier stapled and taped
Starting to put up Fermacell (drywall)
Laying the last piece
Drywall finished and ready for plastering
Plaster over the joints (I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's a fun learning experience)
Two coats of plaster applied. I'm hoping it's good enough that I can sand it down and paint over it without needing to lay down a third coat...
While we were doing this, my brother started sanding down the paint from the walls. In a fortnight I'm hoping to finish removing the paint from the walls, sand the newly applied plaster, and maybe start painting the ceiling and/or walls.
