Wet Outside, Warm Inside?

Since our last post the weather has been quite awful, however now we are inside this is less of a problem.

We've finally finished the cladding. The final finish is so effective.

I've tried to reduce some of the level at the back as the ground level is actually higher than the internal floor. It all went well until the heavens opened and the plant were just sitting in a quagmire.

Mark and Dave have insulated the vaulted roof sections with two separate layers of Celotex (or similar) phenolic insulation.

More to follow later today.

At last, a dry building

I'm pleased to say that at last we are dry roofed throughout. In order to have the scaffold access to the rear gables we have had to have two downstairs rooms exposed to the elements. however, with the scaffold off-hired we have been able to take down the rear sections.

Dave spent two very productive days cutting and erecting all the timberwork.

When we returned from holiday the rear slates were all but finished.
With most of the scaffold down its great to finally see the clad elevations.The oak looks great against the wheat across the valley.
