Insulation & Picking Out
Insulation & Picking Out
When I look back at the front of the hall and remember how much work Gary and me put into picking out the old mortar, I think it’s fair to say I’m not looking forward to doing the same thing to the internal walls but, plaster removed, it needs doing to bring the building back into use.
As with the front, some bits are rock-hard, others are soft and squidgy so progress is pretty slow. I seem to have developed a bit of a knack for it now and it takes me about a day to pick out a 4m x 4m span of wall which going home dusty and knackered at least makes me feels like we’re getting somewhere.
Also, I forgot to mention that Gary helped me to install the 6×3 ridge ties a few months ago, so the insulation can be finished off right into the apex of the roof now and after some very uncomfortable visits, holding 100mm foam panels upside down, covered in white bits and sticky gap fill foam residue, it starts to look ready for the second layer of 50mm insulation boarding.
Yes ..more insulation!
