So I should be at the space most of tomorrow.
From 1 ish to 5. Then 7:30 till whenever.
List of jobs:
Foam fill top of dividing wall and gap between plasterboard and brick wall next to the door.
Paint MDF with white finish from massive tub.
Paint dividing wall in white. Does it need priming?
Start rationalising things in the chop shop into boxes and putting in snug in possible.
Move stuff from chop shop into messy room in preparation for sanding and varnishing the floor on weekend.
Foam fill top of dividing wall and gap between plasterboard and brick wall next to the door.
Check with @joeatkin2 about the very top of partition.
Big gap is a bit huge to foam fill…needs some thought.
Paint dividing wall in white. Does it need priming?
Ideally a primer is used, to save on paint. Use any MDF primer that’s left and prime the rest using a watered down white emulsion. 10-20% water.
Remember the ‘herringbone pattern’ for applying the paint, and letting the roller roll over for finishing. Ideally someone cutting the the edges with a brush and a roller going over that before it dries, as close to the edge as wisdom allows.
Okay.
Yeah joe and I had a chat yesterday about the foam. But happy to leave if needs more discussion
That gap may well end up with a ventilation pipe going through it at some point. Don’t worry about the exact location; we’ll cut a hole where we need to. Just bear the possibility mind 
maybe a bit of board either side, with a hole in the middle, and then just let rip with the can though the hole? Wait for it to harden up a bit, then remove the boards?
Just googled a bit and expanding foam seems to have reasonable acoustic qualities.
If we’re boarding up that end then we do the messy side till it’s finished, and do the board-with-a-hole on the dusty side?
yep, that seems like it would be the ideal solution.
I have a feeling it could be precarious to do the jig for the foam now on the chop shop side with all the wood in the way. Maybe I’ll paint tomorrow. And leave the top near where the foam will go.
Then when we’ve cleared a bit of space from the chop shop it might be easier to get up there on that side and do the jig.
Unless you have a cunning plan?
Leave it a couple weeks I think. Doesn’t need to be done urgently.
The block work on the clean side needs pointing. I know we have some sand.
Any cement around? If not then I’ll pick up a bag.
We do desepRatly need varnish for the floor though.
We could do it this week end. If we had it.
We only have about 70% of one big tin.
At least another big tin. But thinking forward would it actually hurt to have some spare?
I will buy more
@tomnewsom is your chap for that I think. In any case. Tonight we should clear the deck if at all possible.
Can I re-raise the possibility of a skip as well? There’s too much junk outside right now again, and that pile of off-cuts and vintage logs is never going to get used completely, surely. Could we aim to get it out of the space, or is that a concession too far?
I’d almost go as far as to say I’d donate Seniõr Skip, if it would clear the decks…
If no one else wants it. I’m sure some people do Ild gladly take as much as possible and put it in my attic
The recycling centre at the other end of Rosendale Road accepts wood (cars only, no vans). A couple of trips would do it.
the van free thing is probably the kicker. I could stick a bunch in my car and go down there, but it’s teeny tiny.
Every little helps. Also, wood can be chopped up.
How about a big pallet on a pallet truck?
