Onya Mike. Yes, I get around 5 hours a night so I'm good.
The ceiling is all up. Now it's a matter of joining tape, joint filler and some trim around the exposed edge in the stairwell.
I bought some thick board today for the trap-doors that will seal the heat in downstairs by blocking off the stairwell.
I picked up all the gear today thanks to a wonderful donation by a fellow in Victoria. I'll be getting to work tonight and over the next week to get the ceiling finished and ready for a coat of paint.
The last part of the ceiling was the trickiest, as there were many angle involved, lots of things to get around and rebate for, plus the sheet can't fit in the gap in one piece. I ended up making a template out of 3mm craftwood scraps. I then traced the template onto the plasterboard sheet and cut it out. I had to cut it into four pieces to get it in there though. It's all done though and ready for finishing.
1. Tracing the template
2. Plasterboard cut to shape
3. Fitted
