Its been a fairly busy 2 weeks. Physically the windtight wooden structure is up and most of the slates are on the roof. Windows have been installed but the opes are not fully sealed. There is a photo below of an installed window with the cill sitting proud of the panelvent / breather membrane. We're battening the outside of the building in preparation for the cementation board & internally, insulation ( from the inside) should using a dense rigid fibreglass start next week.
Bad news this week was the one of the nights, some uninvited guests to the site removed most of the lead valleys from the roof. Have obviously not been found.
Big decisions this week included

Big decisions this week included
- Mechanical systems ( in particular the heating system and the extent of the rainwater recovery which due to water being free in Ireland at the moment, has an infinite ROI...go figure); quote & scope agreed
- Electrical : extent of cabling, type of data cable etc..awaiting quote
- Colour of the external render - its a permanent colour so need to get it right
- Bathrooms - ordered from Germany, ETA about 3 weeks, hope this decision does not prove 'interesting'
- Wood flooring - purchased
- Landscaping - awaiting final quotes for the supply of bare rooted trees will need to be put in the ground by the end of March to catch the growing season
