Insulation In, Plaster starts...

The battens were installed Monday, and that same evening
I started to install the insulation in the ceilings.
Five hours were not enough, I took Tuesday off and spent the whole day
going up and down the step ladder... Anyway, all done now.

Straight jackets, please....!

The plasterers finally turned up this morning 26/06.
We are now over 2 weeks late because of them.
There is a bit more work for them, as we are going for a "set square"
finish: no cornices, just skirting and architraves around the doors..

Insulation in (well, almost...)

We have been busy the last 2 week ends putting the insulation in.
It is almost finished, except for downstairs, where the roof is not quite
completed. As soon as the battens for the plaster go in, we will have
to install the ceiling insulation. Most likely during this week, after work.






The picture below was taken Saturday 14/06/08 in the morning, just before
a trip to the tip (we clean the site every week).
The guys working on site are very good: they pile up the rubbish in one corner
and we take it to the local tip.
Ridge capping and flashing for upstairs + the missing sheets above the
entrance should be installed early this week.
