The final load of our third hand rubbish pieces of hard PU foam boards have been processed and most of it is now stuffed and glued into the roof rafters above the Great Room.
In the end, we had plenty to do the job, with most of the rafters now having well over 250mm thick of PU insulating material inserted.

We had only a pile of thin pieces and trimmings to act as evidence that we had any of this type of building material.

The next job will be to insert the final layer of glass wool to act as a fire break against the unlikely occurrence of a fire, to prevent it reaching our plastic PU foam boards.
This will be covered up with the usual DPM plastic membrane to provide a vapour barrier, and this in turn will be protected by 11mm OSB wooden sheets.

But, first, we will go right around the whole room and make sure that all our electrical conduits are installed etc. and we will report on that in another blog report!
