We had a delivery of additional sheet materials to add to our store of 11mm and 18mm OSB (oriented Strand Boards). We could calculate what we have left to construct for both the remaining downstairs rooms and also upstairs plus the flooring. We counted what we already had and we estimated that we needed another 50 sheets of the 18mm thick boards and another 85 sheets of the 11mm thick boards. They came on two pallets and we unloaded them over three days and put them all in our sheet storage room a.k.a Bedroom Two!

Mind you, the builder merchant did forget 1 sheet of the 11mm board and they had damaged the bottom sheet of 18mm with their forklift truck (or someone did). We will send them a request for a credit to be added to our account.

The prices has risen considerably in just 18 months, we paid £17 for each 18mm type board last time and now we had to pay £23 each!! A 30% rise!! A few years ago, we only paid £13! Crazy World We Live On Now!
So we are going to order all our standard plasterboard (which is not going on the walls but under the floor!) and Fermacell (an engineered high performance plasterboard) in the next week or so and beat the next price rises that are due in September.
