More wood

Tuesday 23 November 2010

Bill had rashly suggested helping us bring some wood home from the wood yard, as he was going there himself on Tuesday.  We went early to get some of the polyester insulation that Constantine had recommended - no surprise to find it twice the price of Rockwool - but infinitely nicer to handle.

 Bill was confident he could manage 4 metre lengths - which we can't do in the back of the van as they'd trail along the ground, so we bought tongue and groove for the internal walls, plywood for the roof and hardboard for the ceiling, and swamped the poor little pick-up.




It came on to rain just as we were leaving, so we waited a while, but in the end decided to risk mushy hardboard rather than hang round any longer.

We followed him back in our van, expecting him to take off with the wind under the hardboard at any moment.
