Damp-proof membrane and insulation. Warm and dry, remember?

17 September 2013

Tom's second photo update has arrived and it looks as if there has been a fair amount of progress.



Lovely shot of the neighbour's shed. But it also shows that the veluxes are in, and that the roof tiling (at time of taking the photos) was almost done...



...and the zinc gutters and downpipes are in place. She's almost watertight (if you ignore the large barn door opening at the front!).

Following on from last week, when we raised an issue with the placement of the kitchen drain (too close to the shower room wall), we are waiting to hear that the plumber has moved said pipework...

In the meantime, as the photos below illustrate, the damp proof membrane is down, and the under-floor insulation has been laid. I don't know if it's just me that is aware of a slight hiccup in the order of events...(see note about kitchen drain above).





 It looks tiny! But perfect.




Brian the electrician has been in, too, and has laid conduits and cabling under the floor, which should tidy up the future downstairs ceiling somewhat.

All being well, and plumber variables sorted in time, the concrete goes down this week.
