Well its been a while since the last post but we are slowly getting there. The ceiling and upper walls are complete and painted (not quite as smooth as they could have been but in most light they look ok). Wooden paneling on the lower part of the walls is more or less complete.
Bath is plumbed in but not yet tested. Had a bit of a disaster when the pipe sheares at the elbow connection when tightening up the bath taps -- had to rip off some of the panelling to get to the pipes. The soldered joint was fine -- the fitting itself sheared (proves that theres no need to braze the pipes as they do here in France, soldering is fine).
Had to get a 150mm damper valve from the UK for the ventilation pipe as they seem not to be available in France. Ended up getting it from some dodgy Hydroponics ebay shop.
Next step is to source some flooring. Currently thinking of Acacia.
