New levels of insulation

Having spent some time working out exactly what thickness and quantity of insulation would be required to top up the level, we took delivery mid week of varying sizes from 10mm to 90mm. Such discrepancy was not expected! No harm done though, it means we will have a minimum 130mm and maximum of 190mm if insulation in the floor, way above requirement. Once the first layer had been foamed in using around 12 cans of expanding foam, Jaimin had to wait for it to dry then trim it all to a reasonable level to allow installation of the second layer.


The week also saw 1.25 tons more quarry scalpings taken to site to be spread on the road (they seem to work very well) and Jaimin met a surveyor from Deeside  Road Construction who is going to quote for building us the track on to the plot. You can see them in grey on the track.

On the weekend, some real progress was made when Lucy and Freya came along to finish the laying of the second layer. More expandable foam was sprayed.
