Just carried on with the walls today & trying to get the gib finished throughout the house. Finally finished up in the lounge area, but had a bit of a delay as Rich had to pack up one of the nogs by 20mm as the wood used wasn't the right size.
As I had a bit of time whilst this was being done, I headed into the laundry area and started helping Mark to gib the hot water cylinder cupboard, however this came to bit of a stand still as Rich discovered an issue with the wiring that the sparky's put in.
Basically there shouldn't be a electrical wiring within 90mm of a braceline element, and this is not the case with the space for the light switch. This may mean having to do the lounge wall again, as the gib has been weakened with regard to its integrity as a bracing element in the house as the opening is too close. This is important to get right, as if it's wrong, then it means we won't pass inspection.
Rich will follow up and we will look at it on Monday.
