Week 30, Day 4:

  • More first-fixing
  • Plastering-in the air-tight tape on the southern bedroom walls, where these will get plasterboard rather than a wet plaster finish (which normally forms the air-tight layer)
  • More work on the studwork walls – especially on the second floor where the plasterboard will get installed first

Example of hot and cold water pipework

Example of hot and cold water pipework

The hot water pipework to basins is 12mm Uponor MLCP with black Armaflex insulation. The aluminium layer in the MLCP sandwich means these pipes tend to stay where they’re bent to – hence the ends tend to be straight rather than curly. The cold water pipework is  standard 15mm PEX with grey Climaflex insulation; no aluminium layer.
