John and myself working on our room

we fixed standard GIB all around the room except for the corner, in the corner we used braceline GIB this has a stronger core and is fixed every 50mm in the corners then 150mm from then on round the edges with clout pins/ gib pins.

the wardrobe

to get the piece of gib in the back of the wardrobe we had to cut down the back of the gib and fold it into the back of the wardrobe then open it out, this is what it ended up looking like

fixing gib board to walls

here it shows 3 extra blocks fixed to studs to pull the gib in tight to the gorilla grip glue, this stops the gib from bowing out in future.

gibing around doors

first we fixed the piece of gib to the wall and over the door, we then went behind the gib and cut from the back down each side of the door way, we then cut it at the top, finished product as above.

starting the inside

we first went round the house straightening studs, and fixing bottom plates to the floor, we then made sure that all nogs,studs etc where flush so that when the GIB goes on it would sit nicely.

we started with the lounge first as it is the biggest area to cover we used the longer 6m sheets to do this area making sure it was staggerd and back block so joins are tight.
