Progress/Its been a while since my last post :)

















Its almost two months now since i last posted here, things have been hectic, got an electrician on board the local lad €7,700 seems like a good price to me the other one was returned for €14,200! The house is first fixed for plumbing and electrics and we have all internal studs up, we have used foil back slabs in the entire house just to offer that extra bit of fire protection. Between the studs we have used 4" of rock wool; and between the rafters we have used 4" of king span there was a lot of itchy days for the lads fitting all of this!! On the ground floor we have used 6" of rock wool between the joists and the upper floor and all ceilings are slabbed now also, for a bit of extra insulation to the house we decided to buy the king span slab panels with 37.5mm of insulation on the back and we have fixed these to the internal side of all the external walls! They cost me €22 each and we are using about 80 of them! The electrician recommended a chaser for the walls did the whole house for €350, i had planned on doing this myself but he had all the right gear, definitely worthwhile paying for it, id have been a week at it with a con saw and would probably have had no lungs left! :)
