Insulation

It was a very misty morning, and as we ate breakfast I asked Brian how he was feeling about the cellar. “There’s still a lot to do “ he replied. “Hmm I know, but it’s looking excellent. “

He’d got the four wooden bases for the framing finished yesterday afternoon, and was going to push ahead now with fitting the insulation.

Firstly, he marked out where the batons needed to go. Then he fixed them to the oak beams, cut the insulation to size, and slotted it in place.

He then needed to cut the OSB, which was going to cover the insulation on both sides. This was a bit tricky, as the uncut boards were quite heavy and unwieldy. By early afternoon though, he’d completed two of the panels, back and front.

Ideally, before he finished for the day, he wanted to try and fit the insulation in the gap between the ceiling and the panels he’d been working on. They were only small areas, but awkward to work on. By the time he’d finished two of the three holes he was done for the day.
