Stay tuned my friend... very soon  ;)

OK, now the job the day is to sand all the joint between the plaster boards. I know there will be a lot of dust, so let's close the access to the original lair  :D  :arrow:



Did you see the joints... that's what I've to sand  :arrow:



Let's try the 'manual' method first ...



Jesus  :shock: It will take ages  :-\ OK, now the electric version  :lol:  :arrow:



Faster of course  ;D OK, it's done  :-* :



Remember, I've used plaster boards ONLY for the common wall between the two rooms. For the three other walls, I've used wood boards.

Some screws really bore me like this one  :arrow:



I can't screw on further than that. OK, let's remove it, and make a bigger hole, like that :



Now I can push it  :)  :arrow:



Hopefully, I don't have to do that job for all the screws already fixed... but I did that for maybe 20 or  25 of them  :oops:

Anyway, it's completely done now. I just have to cover the screws + joints with this  :arrow:



Done :

A few more weekends and you should be able to start moving in.  Excellent job so far with the extension.

Looking good Bruno.
Why did you use OSB on the outside walls instead of the gypsum board?

Hi Alex,

Well, I've used plaster boards only on the common wall, because that 'internal' wall doesn't need to be insulate (insulation is already done by the external walls).
So, if that common wall doesn't need to be insulate, it doesn't need any structure (with wood + glass wool by example) ... and so it's more easy to fix plaster boards directly on a wall than OSB boards  :)

Heu? WTF are you using OSB boards for the floor ???
This is only done in old buildings for the second,... floor etc...

What are you going to do when raine, water, ... floods into your room? Not good...

im hoping bruno has built it so it won't leak or flood, cos if it does the osb boards are the least of his worries, its the collection of arcade machines id be worried about. ;) :D

you must be going nuts wth excitement bruno, not long now and some friends will have their garage space back :P  cant wait to see it finished , so you can start on ver3 :P ;D ;D

The slab that he poured is elavated.  I'd imagine he is going to put sleepers (scrap 2x4) on top of the slab and then put the underlayment down.  He also might be adjusting the height of the new space to match the old space.  I don't think flooding is much of an issue with everything I have seen in his construction.

No risk at all... you'll see in the coming pictures.

The slab that he poured is elevated. 

Yes, the slab is elevated... impossible to have water damage  :-*

you must be going nuts wth excitement bruno, not long now and some friends will have their garage space back :P  cant wait to see it finished , so you can start on ver3 :P ;D ;D

Yes Polaris  :-* But friends are still afraid  :P Because even with the v2, i won't have enough space to put all the games I have  :roll: ::) ;D

Arggg, and yes... I can't wait to start the project called 'v'

Before working on the 'floor', I'll apply glass fiber on all the walls, like I did in the first lair.

Tools of the day :



Get ready ?



Go... does glass fiber can be fixed on OSB boards ? Yes sir  :)  :arrow:



Let's go :







A little bit tired... but I'm happy ... I'm close to the end  :P  :arrow:



Applying glass fiber is very easy. I just have to be careful of these edges :



Done  :-* :-* :-*





Yeeess  ;D  :-* :-*

No, it hides all the imperfection of the walls, also the joints. And after the painting, it'll look very nice. I've done the same job for the first room  ;) Have a look right here  8)
