Cappng It Off . . .

Final arrangement of bathroom cupboard, air-con return ducting and water heater maintenance access panel cutout.























On the other side of the bathroom wall the air duct has been continued along the top LHS of the wall so it can be directed further into the "bedroom/dining room".
The return air duct has been cut out for the grille screen opening, bathroom wall has a cut-out panel for fitting water tank gauges and the body of the first cupboard making storage space above the ducting.























At the other end lining with insulation has been begun.


















Insulated underneath and final lining of 12mm lightweight ply completed at the dining end.


















In the bathroom a template is cut to test the fit for the laminate panels as templates are cheap - laminate isn't!


















The final laminate sheet is cleaned and scuffed by sanding for the glue to get a good grip, the ceiling is covered with a very generous pattern of "Soudal" adhesive and the panel lifted into place and propped in place.


















More props are added to try and keep the sheet flat.
This laminate is 3mm thick so a little bit stronger and flatter than the normal 1.2-1.6mm thickness used in most domestic situations.


















More props are added for overnight support while the glue sets.
























A more conventional view from outside the door.
