Sealed!

Once the lid is placed onto the building, it suddenly after 3 days of a 6 ant workforce becomes a house! The roof is over 220 m2 and john Thomas 's roofing boys have laid the welsh slate proud. I am so glad we choose the smaller new county welsh slate(16x10 ). I stand back and feel it's a decision well spent, 100 years + , it was worth blowing the kitchen , bathroom...... Budget on! Will I feel this slate pride when I'm standing under a dripping shower or cooking on a camp stove, who knows ?

Insulation=warm home+ cheap bills

The floor levels need to be raised considerably and as we are opting for underfloor heating (supplier not choosn yet).  We have choosen insulation over slab.  The building regs have specified 75mm but we are going to use 100mm insulation.  Insead of using a primary limestone aggregate we are opting for a slate sub base ( classed as recycled and eco friendly)  and have had our 1st 30tonne delivered by Loweroak aggregates.
