Repairs have been done

The cut bracing and the cut stud have been repaired.  Romeo have come through.
Above is the repaired bracing, they had to take off the entire panel of plasterboard and they have swapped the powerpoint bracket to the next stud.

 
This image shows a new cross element below the stud that now completes the load path from the truss bearing on the load bearing wall to the studs either side and then down to the ground.  Unfortunately a lot of the soundproof insulation got moved around in doing this, we managed to get a few back in place.

Almost al of the plastering has been put in place, all but the wall with the new bracing the wall between the linen cupboard and the return air vent.  The alfresco ceiling and the garage also need to be done.
