The Velux suntunnel took another step forward when Ging cut out the rafters to accommodate the mirrored tunnel.Thermafleece!
We're using Thermafleece (made from British sheep!) to insulate all the external walls in no.4, the new bootroom and all the roof spaces, etc. Thermafleece is as green as you get when it comes to insulation - its renewable (sheep grow their wool back for more clipping for more Thermafleece); its zero GWP (global warming potential); zero ozone depletion; safer to use (unlike many man-made fibre insulations); its long lasting (it will last as long as the house stands); it will keep us lovely and warm whilst helping to reduce our carbon footprint; it breathes. Unfortunately I couldn't catch Ging in his funky space suit he wears to fit this stuff. It might be nicer than fibreglass etc, but its still dusty old sheeps wool!Bootroom progress
Jon (upper) and Josh (lower) crack on with the gables of the bootroom. Its a dusty old job cutting up them blocks!
Jon's handywork at the end of the day. Very neat!
Oak posts
The three oak posts for our rear canopy (a covered walkway running the length of the back of the house from the garage end to the back door) arrived today. You could smell them from miles away, a lovely sweet, fresh cut smell. And they each weigh a ton!
One nice new roof
Matt and Kev finished the main new roof section - don't it look just sweet! Just a wee bit of work on the gable edge before they move on to . . . roofing the bootroom and the canopy!

Golly. Exciting, reading it all in one lump. So so happy to see how well its going - you have found some great people.
Jeremy wonders where on earth you are living?
And I wonder what your last lot are doing. Shouldn't someone in charge be following them around with a clipboard, some handcuffs and a pistol before they wreck someome else's life?
