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.

Roofer Comes to Site
Keith Oldham, our roofer, and all round good guy, has been to site over the weekend (despite a bit of a hangover and man flu!). The 'high performance membrane' (roofing felt to me and you) has been put on the sarking - so at last we have a good chance of keeping the worse of the rain and weather out of the structure. It was a bit depressing going to the house and constantly hearing the rain running into the building - but now we are feeling a bit of relief - especially as the weather here is absolutely dreadful. The battens you can see have just been 'tacked' temporary - they will be removed and 'counter' battens will need fixing on. We did it this way to save time.
The Timber Frame is all but finished - but they are back tomorrow for what should be their last day, and the bricklayers start as well, so it will be a busy site...
