Day 59 - double party wall

Today we finished the three sections of the party wall dividing the two houses. In fact these are 6 panels, combined in pairs by the internal cross bracing. The double wall - made out of 100x44mm framing rather than 150x44mm framing used on the exterior walls - will help with reducing sound transmission and increases the fire rating of the wall.

We decided against using a nail gun and have opted for the slower but stronger approach of hammer and nails.
