It's been a busy week - Phil the Brickie has started putting down the reclaimed bricks from the old house, and Keith the roof has put some counter battens on. So it's all starting to come together a bit.
The timber frame is actually finished - Hurray! - I think there was a lot more work in the roof than they thought, after a initial estimate of 5 days to complete the frame - it took 17!! (including a couple of days cancelled due to crane driver not turning up and high winds)
Also taken delivery of the insulation for the external walls - Rockwool Flexi Slab 140mm - and i have started to install this in the walls where possible.
Diary detailing the trials and tribulations of a Self Build Project in Pantymwyn, North Wales. The build is a timber frame construction and will incorporate high levels of insulation - Air Tightness Membrane - MVHRHP System - Energy efficient lighting etc and so will be some way towards a 'LOW ENERGY' House.
