Insulation

I forgot, in the excitement of New Year and Nick visiting, to mention that we went and got the first palet of insulation before New Year

There are 10 more like this - and it looked even more when we got it inside the house.

The fork lift driver did an awesome job getting it in the trailer as there is about 1cm space on each side, he also lent us a cargo strap long enough to go over the top. Despite that it did sway quite a bit, but we got it home without it keeling off the trailer.

We went yesterday to Leroy Merlin which is a gigantic DIY, furniture and decor shop - it is a chain, the nearest one to us being in Pau. We went there rather than a closer DIY shop because we wanted plastic not metal supports for the metal rails which will support the insulation and have the plaster board screwed to them and this was the nearest we could find them.

Now we just need a 2nd palet of the insulation (the 4cm as the 1st one is the 10 - we are doing 24cm) and we are ready to get started. Too exciting! 

The roofer is meant to be coming this week to cap the 2nd chimney and fix a couple of leaks around the chimney and he thinks he will do the two A frames at the end of January - we shall see!
