Weather in Ireland in December was obviously fairly poor , now just as we start the new year we are up at tool level with all the main structural walls up and the roof, including slates, due to go up over the next few weeks. We are very happy with the quality of the structure and with the attention to detail being paid to airtightness, this should result in a good airtightness result from the preliminary test in a few months. The initial documents are going to the Passive House Institute in Germany shortly which should help smooth the process.
The windows are now due to arrive in about 6 weeks ( mid Feb) so by the end of February we will have a well sealed building and the initial internal works ( insulation, airtightness, mechanical & electrical ) will start then. A few photos of the last few weeks attached.
As the detailing of how the build is to be completed has been agreed in advance there are less variables on site. However, the protection of the airtight layer, some of which is installed as the frame is being erected, is paramount.
