Continuing work on the timber grid. Slogging along is more like. Oy, this is mind-numbingly dull work. :\
The side wall opposite the addition is the largest solid wall in the build. I used the same technique as the side wall of the addition, with 5/16″ x 1/8″ grid boards and 1/16″ thick filler pieces. Here’s the initial grid.
And, with the filler pieces.
I thought about adding a window in the kitchen but decided against it mainly because of how the other windows in the build are constructed. It was simpler to leave it out, and having a solid wall would give me greater flexibility in decorating. We’ll just imagine there’s a window on the invisible back wall. :]
I numbered the backer board and the filler pieces to make it easy to reassemble after painting.
I filled in the gaps in the grid with spackling and started bricking the bottom portion.
After this, there will be a partial wall on the other side…then no more grid work for this build! Is that a light at the end of the tunnel? :D
