The Sound of Silence

The flats are above the pharmacy, so we need to put some fireproofing and sound quilting between the levels to make both parties more comfortable. Now that the electricians have weaved their magic with large quantities of cable, the padding has been going in between the floors.

It won't be long now before the place looks tidier because a lot of the framing will be concealed. We were especially impressed by the gadget in the middle of this picture that allows one person to fix a ceiling panel on his own and keep it perfectly horizontal.

The ducting has now snaked its way up to the roof space.

There's still a lot to do, but you can now see the internal layout a bit more clearly. It's looking more like a pharmacy and coffee shop and less like a derelict pub.
