on the up n up

The beast continues to rise, the last week has seen insulation installed, including us adding some "sound block" to most of downstairs a several walls up stairs. Whilst adding the extra insulation was not necessarily necessary it will in theory will pay for itself and adds a layer of extra quiet that separates up from down.

We will need to check the sound and video wiring to make sure the speaker cables and assorted HDMI, video / security wiring in positioned in front of the outlet plates so we can access them post plastering. We have taken extensive notes, measurements and photos through out the house, of everything.

On top of the insulation it appear that all internal plumbing is done and dusted and electrical wiring is in, so next stage is plastering which was delivered this week.

The bricks are on the rise and looking great, we estimate that we are at 60% stage and very glad we opted for the 50 mill feature bricks which will cover the entire "Oak Park" facade and balcony excluding rendered columns.
