Week 33, Day 5

Week 33, Day 5:

  • Mostly electrical first-fix and ventilation work today
  • In particular, bedding the electrical socket-boxes on a layer of plaster to ensure they are air-tight
    • The wet plaster on the wall will seal the pores in the concrete blocks, but it’s also important to plaster behind the socket boxes by setting them on a bed of plaster
  • The first paint, in the Plant Room
    • A micro-porous paint designed for bare plaster, to let the plaster finish drying out after the paint has been applied
