Fitting-out commences.....

We went to Beacon on Saturday to ok the wiring setup. As you can see from the photos, they have made a good start - the ballasting is done, and the sub-floor is down, the battenning is finished, and the wiring is all but completed ready for the spray foam insulation to be done on Wednesday.

    Hi Bones - They are mostly fixed to the steel internal struts/boxing with self tappers. If no other available fixing, they are screwed via other battens.

    Hi There,

    As Caxton says great photos which show a wealth of detail for anyone doing a fitout or keeping an eye on were wiring is for later on. Wish we had the same on NB Rivendell built 4 years ago. Look forward to following the build through the great photos.

    Cheers

    Hi Don
    Thanks for your comments - we wanted to have a full pictoral record of the build to look back on and thanks for reading the blog. I have looked for a blog for nb Rivendell to return the favour but can't find one - do you have one?

    Hi Pip n Roger,
