Week 45, Day 2

Week 45, Day 2:

  • More work on the landscaping, levelling out the rubble remaining from the demolition of the old barns to form a parking area by the (future) garages
  • Lots more second-fix electrical, including starting to wire up the control boards for the lighting and window blinds
  • Applying the oil finish to the oak flooring – second coat on the Second Floor (Office and Landing) and first coat on the Ground Floor (Living Room and Dining Room)
  • Adding some of the insulation to the MVHR ducts
    • The Intake and Exhaust ducts will be carrying air at “outside” temperature to the MVHR unit, through the “internal” air in the Plant Room – so there’s a risk of condensation and they need to be heavily insulated (even though the ducts themselves are made of expanded polystyrene)
  • More work on the skirting boards, architraves and internal doors
