Site Meeting 02 - New Floor & Internal Lining

Solar thermal panels installed
Carpenter insulating external wall
Internal sheepswool insulation

The works are moving on a pace on site....The new concrete ground floor is being poured; the first floor ceiling has been removed ready for the air-tight membrane to be installed; the chimney's have been removed and the stack propped; Solar panels are installed on the roof, and the extract and intake vents for the heat-recovery ventilation system have been installed.

The carpenters have also started work on the internal wall insulation lining of timber studs with sheepswool batts. The carpenters only gripe with the sheepswool insulation was that it could not be cut with a knife, scissors had to be used, so it was taking a few more minutes per batt to install.

The fitting of the air-tight membrane is programmed for the 15th November, and the Intello membrane & tape supplier, E.H. Smith, will be visiting site to give the site team a 'Toolbox Talk' about installing the air-tight barrier - watch this space for an update.....
