Back onto the Office

Time to finish the interior, off to Wickes tomorrow to get six lengths o f45mm X 95mm X 2400mm, CLS Timber for the ceiling joists, the I will have the Plaster Board delivered along with the Roof Insulation. Today I fitted the outside Power Socket, and the switchable Garden Light, and started routing the cables, not far to go now

Re: Back onto the Office

All in, notice the polystyrene insulation against the moisture membrane, then the main insulation will be set between the rafters.

Time for a Cuppa, a Sandwich and a game of Sudoku.

Looking good Spitty, but remember to leave a good air gap between the moisture membrane and the insulation....

Hi Barry, suppose because the roof is ventilated, and there will be 100mm foam between the rafters, the secondary insulation may cause problems, I will remove it.

It's important to maintain an air gap between every element Spitty, so try to make sure the 100mm foam between the rafters is well clear of the sarking felt too, and if so there is no need to remove the secondary insulation if it's going between the ceiling joists because that will cause no problems. Again, just make sure its clear of the eaves to maintain the ventilation

Re: Back onto the Office

It's Plaster Board Time, Note the lintel in the blockwork, and the use of lightweight blocks beneath, this is future proofing the case that I may want to put a door here to make the Office and the Garage one unit.

Plasterboard and OSB arrived to day, back onto the Office tomorrow, a couple of decisions to be made.
