La Studio - Electrical Fittings

Saturday 12th March 2022

Ordered all of the electrical sockets, switches and fuse box today from Leroy Merlin.  

Originally did so in December on line with other items for delivery in January, at a special offer price. However, for some reason these items were cancelled by LM before despatch and then the price went up by over 100 euro, but now has come down by 80.  Hopefully, will be delivered this time and be there when I arrive!

So hopefully, I will now be able get the electric sockets and downlighters connected this next trip, in readiness for installing the fuse box and earth bonding in June.

La Studio - Front West Downstairs Window

Yesterday, I collected the glass for the downstairs window on the front west side. I decided I would use the Toughened Glass approach, as I have done in the other small openings.

This is a larger opening about 35cm square, as shown here.  So I ordered a 50cm Square piece 10mm thick that will be fixed to the internal stone wall with the Expanded Foam and supported by the Insulated PB as before.

I will install, two lengths of PB mounted horizontally, which will  make the cutting of the hole for the opening easier.  I have decided to see if I can get some strips of Oak, 6cm x 1cm to install and make a nice finish for the internal opening, once all is finished.

La Studio - Task List for April/May Visit

 Here is my draft work plan for the next 30 day visit that should see all major tasks completed and La Studio weatherproof and secure. Will then need to do some fixing the finer points, as well as painting all the boarding and of course the electrics and fuse box during the rest of 2022.
