We spent the day doing a whole heap of slicing up the last remaining heap of foam boards and chunks, chopping them down so that they are all a maximum of 300mm so that they are ready to be placed under the floorboards in the Great Room. Like the old saying, sweep the rubbish under the carpet .. well, we are lifting up the floorboards and throwing the rubbish down underneath!! No really, we need to insulate our room against both the cold outside but also against our hot Energy Modules that we have buried under the house. We don’t want to have our rooms heated up with heat rising from 90degree hot water tanks!!
So, we have been shredding and slicing up all the rubbishy bits of foam boards and they will help protect us from the hot energy modules. We even got in the final chunks of insulation that we had outside and also sliced then up too.

We now have a huge pile of “stuff” ready and waiting to be “swept” under the floorboards! The other thing that we have done is have a general tidy up of all our tools that we slowly accumulated upstairs, taking away random pieces of wood, cans of PU foam and gave the whole place a good sweep.
The final thing we did was also to move the entire pile of CLS 63mm timber from the middle, underneath the Skylight and moved them all over to the back half of the building.

We moved 280 pieces of timber, plus a dozen odd lengths! Phew! We now can reach any parts of the Skylight with our new High Platform!
