The last of the floors

We have embarked on the last phase of mess and dust - the floors of the laundry/utility room and downstairs loo. Martin started on the slate in the entry hall and will continue this week to finish it off- the new floors at the back will get the same slate.

Simon's crew return tomorrow to install the vapour barrier and new ceiling boards in the back bedrooms to complete the air sealing of the upstairs ceilings. Mr. Sparks is coming to see if he can seal the woodburner flue to the ceiling membrane - I didn't discuss this with him until he had done the job! Things are looking more normal, but there is still a lot to do.

Stapling the mesh to the joists is both awkward and back-breaking

For those who missed it the first time - the sheep's wool insulation, which is pleasure to work with. Thanks to Chris at Back to Earth
