A start on the flat roof, the DPM goes on. Looks good from where we can see it, and the pictures are reassuring. Great things for preventing leaves clogging things in the outflows (though think we will have to remember to clear leaves from roof every autumn).

A delay with availability of the metal roof installer, and then it turns out a problem with the measurements of this metal raised-seam roof/walls means a really significant delay in this going on (now due second week of September). It was NOT Dai’s mistake is all I’m saying…. manufacturer measured… Ah well.

Shenanigans too with render - availability, colour, warranties etc. Sorted in the end.

The original ASHP is no longer being made, we can have the same but larger for the same price or go for a higher spec one, which is greener (the refrigerant fluid), sits lower outside which is better, improved anti-corrosion for coastal areas, and heats water hotter which should mean no need for weekly anti-legionnaire heating of the tank with the immersion heater, so that’s all good. (Of course like everything else, more money!

Plasterboarding is go! Amazingly fast when you know what you’re doing, it seems. We can really start to feel and understand the spaces.

Clare’s bolts for her to hang strange exercisey swingy rings from are up, too!

And stairs are in! (Albeit the bottom ones need swapping out for slightly shorter steeper ones - next couple of weeks).
