Day 275 - some slight progress

Renee started installing the bead today. He first used contact cement to fasten the plastic bead (corner pieces and flexible bead above the arches), and then fastened the bullnose bead to the other places. You can see one of the beads on the corner at the right of the photo, right beside Rene's elbow. Between the two of the drywallers, we got about 7 1/2 hours of work done today - too slow for our liking actually, but not too much we can do about it unfortunately.


Here is Dave installing the Duraroc (cement board) in the ensuite shower. Dave first installed a rubber membrane on the floor. It's a thick (30 ml) rubber sheet that is laid out over the floor and up the walls. The Duraroc is then put over the membrane.

This will ensure all the water from the shower goes down the drain, instead of into the structure of the house.

Chris and Sean built this platform outside the door from the laundry room to the garage. There will be another railing on the raised platform, as well as steps. Chris was working on the stairs - they can be tricky as I well know (from the 4 flights of stairs I worked on last year).
